A clear, structured template that guides teams from idea to impact. This stage-based project management board helps you move from ambition to delivery with confidence, transparency, and strong governance.
Intended Users and Project Contexts
This template is designed for project managers, consultants, corporate teams, public sector organisations, and growing SMEs who want clarity and structure in their delivery process. It supports strategic initiatives, operational improvements, compliance projects, innovation programmes, and cross-functional transformations.
Value and Practical Benefits
Successful projects require more than strong ideas — they require disciplined execution and aligned decision-making. This template enables teams to define success clearly, approve formal baselines, manage risks proactively, and make informed decisions at every stage. It builds shared understanding across sponsors, teams, and stakeholders while strengthening accountability.
Application Across the Project Lifecycle
Use this template:
At project kick-off to define governance and direction
During planning to establish a solid delivery foundation
Throughout execution to track performance against approved baselines
In steering meetings to support structured decision-making
At closure to confirm outcomes and capture learning
It can also be used to stabilise projects that are already underway but require clearer structure and governance.
Recommended Way of Working
Move through the phases sequentially, using decision gates to formally approve progression. Establish clear baselines during planning, track performance consistently during execution, and apply the monitoring flow to determine whether to continue as planned, adjust course, or escalate.
This board delivers the greatest value when used as a living governance framework — revisited regularly rather than treated as a one-time planning exercise.
