Summary

The reader should now understand the benefits of using project templates, how to create them, and how to use them. Templates allow a user to begin with a framework of WBS, activities, and other project data to ensure that new projects are consistent, have repeatable quality results, and that they comply with internal and external standard procedures.

Speaking of project quality, in the next chapter we discuss Portfolio Analysis, a powerful technique that allows you to compare sets of projects to identify their strengths and weaknesses. Hopefully, by using the standard practices in creating your projects through templates, all of your projects will be successful.
