PM Templates

Project management templates are a great way to 1) train on best practices by leveraging a lot of accumulated experience, and 2) get the whole team on the same page with consistent and proven processes and procedures.

There are lots of free PM templates out there; feel free to try them. However, we believe that, for the relatively small amount of money involved, you should go for the best when you are using project templates as guides for your processes and procedures. We don't think that spending a small amount of money on this is a bad idea, especially since it will surely save you some valuable time (and your time is money!). See "List of Leading Project Management Template Providers" for information on a cross section of free and for sale template providers.

We have researched the market, and are pleased to strongly recommend the Method123 and MPMM (Method123 Project Management Methodology) for project management templates because of the comprehensive offering, and because of their thorough grounding in proven principles and project management best practices. These project management best practices are embedded in the templates and incorporated in the extensive guidance provided to project management professionals using them.

I personally have been using Project Management Tools and Templates from Method123 over the past couple of years. One of the beauties of these templates is that I can utilize them to an appropriate degree for the projects, which have included several quite small yet complex projects. I can tell you first hand that the results have been great, as project organization has been raised a couple of levels - and eyebrows have been raised! The team has clearly been on the same page, and all eyes have been opened to the critical success factors.

Besides directly using templates, another approach is to use a proven Project Management Methodology and Process. MPMM provides an entire Project Management Methodology for Project Managers. Every phase, activity and task within the Project Life cycle is described in depth, helping you to deliver projects faster and more efficiently than before. If you’re a Project Manager, Consultant, Trainer or Student, you can use this methodology to improve your project management success.

In addition, TenStep offers not only a comprehensive set of templates, but also practice based methodologies in the following flavors:

TenStep implements them as part of its ongoing worldwide project management consulting practice. Follow the links below for specific template information.
