Knowledge Transfer

New Template

Knowledge transfer is an important aspect of project management. It is not uncommon to need to pass information from one person to another during a project life cycle. The following is a partial list of the key points to consider during the knowledge transfer process. Download this project management template from my website.

Your Check List

  • Conduct project schedule walk through
  • Review MS Project ® Schedule’s Milestones & Deliverables

Project Management Templates - more

Project Management Templates

There are more and more resources available to obtain project management templates. I recently came across a company called "Method123" that specializes in project management templates.
They have a free e-book that you can download that provides a considerable amount of information on project management templates and the project life cycle.

There is a banner add at the top of this blog that will lead you to their website.

If you have not already, you should develop your own repository of project management templates. Customise the project management templates based on the projects you manage. Don't be afraid to think out of the box and create templates to automate the managing and reporting details for your projects.

Project management templates save you time in the long run because having a clear structure to work from and manage allows you to have more time to manage unplanned activities.
