Project Planning Templates
The latest version of our project design templates provide an easy way to get your project up and running. Initiation into a project takes 30 minutes or less! That's it! Whether you are an IT professional or in any other position where you might need a sample plan to get the ball rolling more quickly, Project Kickstart is for you! The first step toward project planning is to use our free sample template to define your project goals. It begins with a simple question: What you are trying to achieve with your project? Next, you'll need to define the phases or major activities in the project. You'll enter the tasks that are required for each phase, and the task duration. After the tasks, it should be easy to identify the resources (the folks who are doing the work). You'll use the task information to make at least preliminary estimates regarding your staffing needs. As the project begins, any changes can be easily made. If your company requires new resources to be approved and procured, it's good to get early and accurate resource estimates to avoid delays in approval and procurement cycles. Once resources have been identified, it's time to assign those resources to the tasks and subtasks you've already entered.
