What Is a Google Docs Project Management Template?
A Google Docs project management template is a document that helps guide you through the phases of a project
lifecycle, from planning to delivery. Use a Google Docs project management template to plan, schedule, monitor,
and fulfill your project deliverables.  
As a project manager, you need to be able to anticipate and plan for a project’s scope, budget, resources,
scheduling, day-to-day development logistics, and assessment. Having the right tools in hand can help you account
for all components of a project. 
A project management template helps ensure that you adequately plan, schedule, monitor, and evaluate your
project.  
Though project management templates may vary, they typically include the following components: 
Project Name: Record the name of the project. 
Project Manager: Enter the name of the project manager (PM) responsible for planning, organizing, and delivering
the project. 
Project Sponsor: List the name of the project board member sponsoring your project.  
Project Description: Provide a brief explanation of the project.  
Start Date: Set the scheduled date for the project to commence. 
Completion Date: Set the date by which the project should be finished.  
Project Overview: Provide the following project details so that your team members and other stakeholders have an
understanding of what your project entails: 
Problem or Issue: State the problem or issue for which the end user, such as the client or target audience, needs
a solution. 
Purpose of Project: Explain how the project will resolve the end user’s problem or issue. 
Business Case: Provide the business case, or justification, for undertaking your project.  
Goals or Metrics: List the project’s goals and the metrics or KPIs you will use to evaluate its performance.
Expected Deliverables: List the project’s service or product that your project will produce. 
Project Scope: Define the project’s scope, including requirements, functions, or features, to be delivered by
project’s end, and what falls out of scope for the project. 
Project Schedule: Include what the project needs to achieve and when it has to do so. Typically a project schedule
is set on a project timeline or Gantt chart. 
Resources: List the resources, such as equipment or personnel, required for the project.
Costs and Budget: Provide details of the project’s expected costs and any other budgetary information. 
Risks, Constraints, and Assumptions: Outline any potential risks, constraints, and assumptions that need to be
considered for project planning. 
Milestones: List the specific milestones along your project timeline that must be met. Include a completion date for
each. 
Tasks: List the following details for any task that must be completed by a project’s end: 
Task Title: Enter a unique title for the project task. 
Task Owner: List the name of the team member responsible for completing the task. 
Task Start Date: Enter the date that work on the task should begin.  
Task Due Date: Enter the date by which the task must be completed. 
Task Priority: List the task’s priority in being completed, such as critical, high, medium, or low.  
Task Status: Provide a status for the task, such as Not Started, On Hold, In Progress, or Complete.   
Percentage of Task Completed: Enter a percentage completed for the task. 
Risk Level: Provide a risk level for the entire project, and indicate whether the project is on track, includes potential
risks, or faces risks and roadblocks that might delay completion.
