ABSTRACT
This technique is based on the precept that in many organizations templates exist to facilitate planning and to minimize risk. Templates are essentially nothing more than fully developed plans, forms, or outlines that provide structure for an organization’s project managers. These templates often manifest themselves as elements of a much larger project methodology (discussed in Chapter 6). By properly applying these templates (or merely recognizing their existence), it becomes possible to mitigate additional risk and apply best practices to existing risks.
