Reusable Project Templates

The new templates feature in P6 represents a significant feature improvement for this release, replacing the Methodology Management functionality from the previous release.

A template is a stored copy of, or blueprint for, a project. It includes all the details, best practices, and de facto standards your organization associates with projects of a particular type. For example, use project templates to create a library of predefined project structures that can later be used as starting points for new projects. In addition, specific WBS branches and their activities can be inserted from templates into other templates or even into projects.

Organize your template projects within the EPS, assign them project codes, and provide them with descriptions to aid in reuse. Because templates and projects now share a common database and user interface, it is easy to create templates from projects or to create projects from templates. You can also create projects based on other projects, and templates based on other templates.

Note: Methodologies from the previous release can be converted into P6.
