Project Management Tools & Templates

Templates, examples, and guides for project and program managers working with traditional, Agile, and hybrid approaches — 139 templates across six work domains. Use them to plan work, coordinate people, manage risks, and communicate progress.

Start here

• New to project management, or running your first project? Read the getting-started guide for orientation, then open the first-time PM starter kit — a small collection of simplified templates and instructions.
• Know what you need? Search and filter all 139 templates in the template browser, or scan the plain-text template catalog if you’d rather browse file paths directly.
• Not sure which template fits your situation? Read the template selection guide for suggestions based on your experience and responsibilities.

Use a resource

A template gives you a structure to adapt; an example illustrates how it can be filled in; a guide explains an approach or process.

1. Check the fit. Read the purpose, applicability, and instructions. Check the file format and any software requirements before downloading.
2. Make a working copy. The fastest way is the template browser: open a template there and use its preview or download option. Working from GitHub directly: for Markdown (.md) files, open the file’s Raw view and copy the text into your editor, or download the raw file; download other file types and open them in compatible software.
3. Adapt it to your project. Replace sample content and placeholders, select the sections you need, and agree on ownership and review frequency. Follow related-resource links when you need supporting artifacts.

Individual templates do not require installing the repository. To obtain the full collection, download the repository ZIP. Available formats vary; a .md file is Markdown text, not an Office document.

Software requiring setup

These optional tools have separate installation instructions and prerequisites. Read their documentation before running them.

• Template generator CLI — generate project templates from the command line.
• Requirements structuring CLI — structure requirements from source material.
• Project health dashboard demo — set up and run the dashboard.
• AI insights is withdrawn pending reliability work; see the development preservation record.

Help and project information

Product Vision and candidate assessment defines the approved benchmark for product proposals: professional capability, project and program success, and meaningful outcomes.

• Questions and shared practice: Ask in GitHub Discussions.
• Broken links, defects, or missing resources: Open an issue and include the affected link and what you expected.
• Contributing: Read the contribution guidelines and submission privacy and file-handling guidance.
• Project updates: Read releases, view the roadmap, or check release numbering. The latest published repository release is v2.4.0 — Template workflows, community intake and delivery reliability; the Requirements CLI is versioned separately. Release announcement.
