Important note:

For the sake of completeness, all 45 steps are included in the Templates – for the Diploma it is
only necessary to complete templates marked with an (E). Workplace templates may be pasted
into the relevant steps. Titles and exact content of workplace documents may differ from those in
this template – it’s important to satisfy the intent and, of course, the Standard. This will be
further explained in workshops.

Templates may be adapted to suit your industry, organisation and/or project.

Several steps from 1 – 25 have not been listed as essential as most are incorporated into
‘’26. Project (Management) Plan’’, which is an essential project management and Diploma
deliverable.
