The PM Toolkit Starter Kit (Free)

The 3 documents I open first on every real project — free.

Most projects don't fail at the end. They fail in the first two weeks: no charter, fuzzy stakeholders, nobody sure who decides. This kit stops that.

After 30 years running projects (PMP®, ITIL®, OCM, CSM), these are the three templates I still use on every single engagement:

📋 Project Charter — Get purpose, scope, milestones, and sign-off agreed BEFORE work starts. Includes the "out of scope" section that saves you when priorities shift.

🗺️ Stakeholder Map — The Power/Interest grid plus a full register, so you know exactly who to manage closely and who just needs an update. Nobody blindsides you in month three.

✅ RACI Matrix — One accountable owner for every piece of work, decided before kickoff. Ends the "I thought YOU were doing that" conversation for good.

Every template is fully editable — plus pro tips from real projects on every page.

Download it free, use it on your very next project (even a small one), and if you want the complete system — status reports, risk logs, AI prompts, certification prep, and career tools — the full PM Starter Vault is waiting for you right here in my store.
