Templates within Project Methodology

Customer Question - I am contemplating purchasing your Project Management Templates. Once purchased, would you say most organizations use your templates with instructions and all already incorporated in the document, as their final document to end users (examples etc). Also do we have complete rights to edit the templates (place our logo instead of yours) in an effort to cater it to our environment? Can we use the project methodology templates both internally (interdepartmental) and externally (vendors we hire).

Support Team Answer
- How it works is that anyone who fills-in the project methodology templates needs a license to use them. So say you have 5 Project Managers and all PM's would fill in the templates for their projects. In this case, you would need a 5 user license.
- If you have people who would only read the document that is completed by the template, then they will not need a license. So for instance, if you have a customer who reads a Business Case document that was created with the Business Case template, then they would not need a license to use it, as long as they are not editing the templates themselves. Make sense?
- Yes, you have permission to remove our logo and make customize the templates and use them for your projects, as long as the first two licensing points are are met.
- You need to retain one small copyright to Method123 on each template, as we still own the copyright to the original content on each template (i.e. the non-customized content). You can add your own copyright notice in addition, if you make changes.
- As long as you are appropriate licensed, you can use the templates internally as well as with the vendors you hire.

This is to create a product with as little invested as possible in the deliverable. For a company wishing to use the lean methodology , they must first analyze their process in depth. Once the analysis has been completed in every process, the process of eliminating waste can begin on the process as a whole. Each part of the process has to contribute to the end product. The cutting of waste from each and every step in the production of a deliverable is the core essence of the lean methodology approach. This can be in the material that is added or the number of workers necessary to complete the task. The overall reductio...

Communications Register

Under what situations should I create a Communications Register for my project ? For small, medium and large projects you should always implement a Communications Register. This register will identify all of the communications events that have taken place for the project and also the communications events that are due to take place in the future. The reason for listing the communications events that are due to take place is that it provides a single place where the project manager can use and control communications to stake holders. For example the register will enable the project manager to view the status of all of the communications to date and determine whether or not the stake holders to the project are being kept in the loop and informed.
