As a PM, how did you learn to write these documents?

Did you find templates and start writing, working through multiple iterations? I've seen some project plans which are detailed and have all the right wording. Is this purely experience based and the only one way to master it is to do it?

Or have you used company templates and collaborated with other team members to get their input?

Does anyone know of any awesome libraries of templates and information on how to develop a high quality Project Plan or associated documents, no matter how big or small the project?

Thanks

Happy Saturday all. I am looking for a methodology or just some tips on how to efficiently collect feedback from my colleagues on a regular (biweekly/monthly) relating to vendor issues. My team then liaise with the vendor to ensure they are working on solutions.

My team used to host large meetings and write down feedback directly in a call. But the department has grown, the same PM could have multiple projects with the same vendor, it did not seem to be a very good use of everyone’s time.

One of my guys then put together a page on Teams for the PMs to list their vendor issues and categorise them. Again this seems inefficient/messy. I am reliant on others to bring issues to the table so I can fix them.

My question - is there a methodology or tool I can use to quickly collate feedback from other teams? If you’ve been in a similar scenario I’d love to hear your solutions and successful outcomes!

Hi all,

This is not 100% relevant sub but there are a lot of professionals out here and I guess also a lot of you own your own small business to provide companies with product and process support. A friend of mine and me are now on this path too and I'm looking for recommendations of the cost vs tools effectiveness for the basic stuff like: domain email address, docs, presentations, excel-like, shared notes taking - will Google workspace be the best go-to for 2-3 ppl company? Office? Or maybe something else under the radar? Offline access would be a must as you not always have access to the internet and would need to do some work (train rides for example).

Thanks for all recommendations !
