The 994+ Requirements Workbook

The self-assessment workbook is organized across seven process areas: Strategic Alignment, Project Lifecycle Management, Resource Management, Portfolio Governance, Financial Oversight, Risk and Issue Management, and Change Enablement. Practitioners use this tool to systematically evaluate current capabilities, identify gaps, and build improvement plans. Example questions include: 'Is there a formal process for linking projects to strategic objectives?', 'Are resource capacity and demand reviewed monthly?', and 'Are change requests documented and approved before implementation?'. Each requirement is derived from real-world implementation cases and supports objective scoring.

The 20+ Templates

The toolkit includes editable templates in Excel and Word for key implementation artifacts such as project charter, benefits register, risk register, change request log, governance charter, decision log, RACI matrix, training plan, communication plan, readiness checklist, and post-implementation review form. These templates are designed to be used directly or adapted to local needs, with clear instructions and pre-filled examples to accelerate adoption.

Course Outcomes and Certification

Upon completion, you will have produced 3 concrete deliverables built using the toolkit: a completed maturity assessment, a 30-day rollout plan with assigned milestones, and a final implementation report. The Art of Service issues a certificate of completion confirming demonstrated knowledge and applied capability in PPM implementation with Planisware.
