Project Management Templates
These templates have been refined over years of experience working on real projects. Most files are in a MS Office format so you can edit them with ease.
| Document | Description |
|---|---|
| Meeting Minutes Document | Use this document to capture notes from meetings |
| Meeting Minutes Document (with Dates, Risks & Issues) | Use this document to capture notes from meetings. Also included are sections to track dates, risks and issues. Delete sections not required for your project. |
| Weekly Progress Report | Use this document to provide project status updates on a regular basis, usually weekly |
| Project Plan Dashboard (Visio) | This is a one-page dashboard approach to reporting progress and key project milestones. This is usually easier to read, update and share as compared to hundreds of lines of MS Project tasks. |
| Project Plan Dashboard (Powerpoint) | This is a one-page dashboard approach to reporting progress and key project milestones. This is usually easier to read, update and share as compared to hundreds of lines of MS project tasks. |
| Communications Management Plan | The communications management plan is a subsidiary of the project management plan. It provides insight into how information is to be distributed, at what frequency or time-frame, to whom and by whom. It can include details pertaining to issue escalation, risk management, change management, general support and your organization’s communication policies and procedures. |
| Stakeholder Register | For project success it is critical to identify stakeholders early in the project and note their expectations. Depending on each stakeholder’s influence and impact rating, the project manager can develop a strategy to assess each stakeholder’s level and timing of involvement. The aim of this document is to list the stakeholders, identify what role they play in the organization and assess how they are involved in the project |

I appreciate the forms you have created.
Few suggestions:
MoM forms need to be more objective type & hence to be in Excel format (with date of point of discussion opened & closed),responsible person,status (open/closed) etc.
Dashboard needs to have many other health parameters including Project & Product Cost,status of design,service,launch,risks & so on.

Hey Nitin – appreciate your feedback. I have a couple other variations of the MoM forms, one of which accomplishes what you outlined. Also have Issue Logs and Risk Logs in Excel which are along the same lines. I’ve leaned towards the uploaded version of the MoM forms because they have fit my projects, teams and leadership style better. But I’ll share the other variations in the near future.
I am keen to hear your thoughts on showing other health parameters on the dashboard – where/how would you suggest incorporating some other elements – as icons/indicators, as color coded sub-charts over the process, etc. Look forward to hearing from you.
