Project Work Book
The project workbook allows project managers, team members, sponsors, and stakeholders to easily track and monitor project activities. Any of these
worksheets can easily be broken out into separate documents.
Suggested Sheets for All Projects
Data
Filling out the Data sheet completes the header portion of all remaining sheets in the project workbook.
Minicharter
The Project Minicharter sheet can be used as a charter for small projects or a summarization of a full charter for larger projects.
The Stoplight Report sheet contains a status report that can be used to keep sponsors, team members, and stakeholders informed of project
progress.

WBS
The Budget sheet allows you to track original budget, expenditures to date, and any cost variance.
The Cost/Benefit Analysis sheet allows you to review the proposed project and potential alternatives and make a project selection based on
a greater ROI (return on investment).
The Risk Management Matrix sheet allows you to identify, qualify, quantify, and prioritize risks (events that might happen; the uncertainty
of a project), create mitigation and contingency plans, and assign risks owners.
The Issues Log sheet allows you to identify and monitor project issues (unplanned events that have happened).
The Action Items sheet allows you to track and monitor action items assigned to team members. Action items are tasks that must be done
but are too insignificant from a time perspective to track in your project schedule.
The Deliverable Milestones sheet allows you to identify major deliverable milestones and the due dates, objectives, assumptions, and
constraints relevant to that deliverable milestone.
The Work Breakdown Structure sheet includes the activities that must be completed during a project, the effort required, all relevant dates,
and the resources assigned to do the work.
RAM
The Roster sheet provides contact information for all those involved on the project.
The Roles and Responsibilities sheet shows the primary role of team members, any deliverables in which they are involved, and the
percentage of time they are expected to work on the project.
The Resource Assignment Matrix sheet shows you what type of resource is responsible for, or somehow involved with, each deliverable.
The tasks listed are samples; you should update the RAM with tasks appropriate for your project.
RCM
The Resource Commitment Matrix sheet shows how many effort hours each person on the project has been allocated by month.
A&C
The Assumptions and Constraints sheet allows you to track project assumptions and constraints.
Decision
The Decision Log sheet allows you to track all major decisions made during the course of the project.
Roster
R&R
The Communication Plan sheet allows you to detail your communication plan: how you are going to communicate, whom you will be
communicating with, how often, in what format, etc.
Stake
The Stakeholder Analysis sheet allows you to identify stakeholders, their role, and their requirements.
Expectations
The Expectations sheet allows you to identify and track the expectations of various stakeholders.
Chg Log
Deliver
PERT
Delphi
TimeSum
Timesheet
The Change Control Log sheet allows you to track all change requests that are in process or finalized.
The Deliverable Acceptance Log sheet allows you to track the status of deliverable acceptances.
The PERT Analysis sheet allows you to perform PERT analysis on WBS tasks.
The Delphi Exercise sheet allows you to develop estimates for WBS tasks through the Delphi technique.
The Timesheet Totals sheet allows you to track effort hours of your entire team by individual and by month.
The Timesheet can be used by each team member to submit effort hours by activity, by month.
The Initial Project Size Estimate sheet allows you to estimate, at high-levels (40,000 ft. view), the size of a project. This estimate should
not be considered final as requirements and technical specifications typically have not been fully developed yet.
The Resource Loading sheet allows you to identify the work effort required, the duration, and the allowed commitment level of each
person assigned to the project.
The Project Quality Metrics sheet allows you to identify critical success criteria, related quality metrics, and their priority.
