Project planning template

Manage your project in one central place

Provide context

Begin with a brief overview, then define your goals, and add links to related background docs your team can research to get up to speed.

Set timelines

This pre-formatted project planning template helps you quickly communicate key dates so everyone knows when everything’s due.

Add action items

Create a fast to-do list and assign duties to different teammates using the @mention feature.

3 ways this template can help you manage projects

1. Delegate to-dos

To keep your project moving forward, use the @mention function in a checklist to assign to-dos. This adds collaborators to your doc, so they can see what’s needed and when.

2. Gather feedback in one place

Emailing files back and forth can lead to confusion. This template lets your team work together in the same doc, add comments, and always view the most recent version.

3. Consolidate project assets

With this template, you can add context by embedding all kinds of content—code snippets, YouTube videos, Dropbox files, and more. Paste the URL in the doc and a preview automatically appears.
