Project Templates: Power Tools for the PM
Course Overview
Bring up the subject of “project templates” and many project managers will immediately launch into a rant
about all of the burdensome paperwork that prevents them from doing their real job. Few of us love
paperwork, but it is an unfortunate mistake when PMs assume that templates are responsible for the
burden. In fact, templates are among the most effective tools that any PM can find. When well-designed
and properly used, templates actually SAVE time and greatly improve the probability of project success.
How can this be?
Dr. Gary J. Evans has over the past few years constructed one of the best PM template libraries on the
planet. These templates are currently in use in at least 23 countries and are a mainstay for project
managers in many lines of business. During this workshop, Dr. Evans explains how to design an
effective template, how to select the templates you need for any project, and how to use them to promote
project success. You will be led through a series of exercises that will train you in how to effectively use
a well-designed template.

- At least eight ways templates are essential to every project
