  • Project management templates and example files:
    • The most comprehensive set of templates and example files you can find that illustrate what formal project management would look like, is located at the Center for Disease Control’s (CDC) Unified Process website located here: https://www2a.cdc.gov/cdcup/default.htm
    •  The CDC site also includes a “CDC Unified Process Project Management Guide” that illustrates what it would look like to articulate a fully fleshed out and formal SDLC like Project Management Lifecycle framework that is customized to a particular industry, which in this case is national public health via the CDC.
    • After you read and digest my book, the above will give you can example of how to formally flesh out a PM framework for your organization… and of course, you will have a deeper and more philosophical background on the methods and practices than almost anyone in the industry!
