Do you manage IT Projects?

Pete's Points
If you manage IT projects then I am absolutely certain that you have had a need at some point to have documents that can look inside your project and report on a whole range of things.

Many organisations have all sorts of tools that they use to plan and monitor the various stages of an IT project. If you have those tools and you find them useful all well and good. If you do NOT have the tools though then there are options available to you to use tools that are simply there for your use on the Internet.

I would suggest for example that people have a look at ittoolkit.com and when you are there have a squizz at the Project Planning for IT projects page

What you will find are some Adobe Acrobat forms that are able to be filled in on line and then printed out for use within your project and/or project team. I think you will find that the list of what is included in these tools is quite comprehensive. Each form also comes with instructions and so can assist even new staff with information about what to do and how to do it.

I have listed a copy of just SOME of the things you can find on this site for information. Please note that each of the links that are provided here will take an individual to the original web site of itttoolkit.com.
