Project Plan Template
Free Word template for agencies and consultants scoping and tracking a client project.
Most project problems trace back to scope that was never written down clearly at the start. This template forces objectives, in-scope/out-of-scope, and milestones onto paper before work begins, not after the first disagreement.
It covers objectives, scope, milestones and timeline, resources, risks, and a communication plan, so everyone involved knows what "on track" actually looks like.

Questions
How is this different from a Statement of Work?
A Statement of Work is a client-facing, often contractually binding document. This project plan is more operational, used internally (or shared with the client informally) to track how the work actually gets done.
Should risks really go in a client-facing document?
Naming risks early, even briefly, sets realistic expectations and protects the relationship if something outside your control affects the timeline later.
Keep every client document in one place.
startbuddi keeps your documents next to the client, the project and the invoice, so nothing lives in a stray folder.
Start with the one thing you need. The rest is there when you're ready.
