Microsoft 365 Templates

Standardize processes with configurable, best practice project management templates.

1. Project Light

1. Project Light

A starter template in your BrightWork 365 solution, Project Light is designed for managing low-complexity projects and processes.

Ideal for PMOs and teams that want to implement just the right level of structure, to ensure tasks are tracked, deadlines are met, and project objectives are achieved, without the overhead of more complex project management frameworks.
2. Project Standard

2. Project Standard

Positioned in the middle of the complexity spectrum, this template offers a balanced, semi-structured approach to project management. It’s designed to provide enough guidance for consistency while remaining flexible enough to adapt to a variety of business needs.

This makes it an ideal choice for teams across departments such as sales, marketing, engineering, finance, and more.
3. Project Structured

3. Project Structured

Positioned at the high end of the complexity spectrum, this template provides a fully structured framework for managing detailed, multi-phase projects. It’s designed to support initiatives that require complex planning, defined workflows, and coordination across multiple teams and stakeholders.

This makes it an excellent fit for high-complexity projects in areas such as product development, operations, engineering, or enterprise transformation.
4. New Product Introduction

4. New Product Introduction

A series of project management tabs, fields, and a Business Process Flow (BPF) that streamlines the process of a New Product Idea – from idea submission to delivery.

It helps departments such as product management, marketing, engineering, and operations collaborate effectively and bring about new products in a structured and efficient way.
5. Product Update

5. Product Update

This template is typically used for projects related to updates of existing products or technologies, and for complex support issues. It follows a gated approach with approvals required to move from the Charter stage into Execution, and to close out the project.

It is ideal for any group responsible for improving or maintaining a product like product management, engineering, R&D, IT, customer support, and operations.
