Mark Whitfield’s IT Project Management (PM) toolkits provide highly comprehensive, fully editable Microsoft Project (.mpp) templates designed to manage and track complex delivery lifecycles. His premium packages bridge the gap between traditional structured governance (like Waterfall and PRINCE2) and modern Agile execution.

You can preview and purchase the complete toolkit via Mark Whitfield’s Project Management Templates Hub or download specific formats from his dedicated Project Planning Template Examples Page.

Core MPP Template Examples & Formats

Mark Whitfield’s templates feature color-coded logic and structured notes embedded directly into task rows to help PMs easily map out dependencies:

• Detailed SDLC Project Plan (.mpp): Built specifically for Software Development Life-Cycles, incorporating essential stage-gate structures, development sprints, testing phases, and release checkpoints.
• PRINCE2 7th Edition Delivery Template: Structurally maps out every required stage, activity, and artifact mandated by the framework (e.g., initiating, directing, managing stage boundaries, and closing).
• Agile & Hybrid Scrum Frameworks: Blends fixed governance milestones with flexible, rolling 2-week Agile sprint schedules, sprint reviews, and retrospective tasks.
• Gantt Plan on a Page (POaP): High-level visual schedules perfect for stakeholder reporting, summary timelines, and executive board meetings.

Key Features of His Project Plans

• Color-Coded Tasks: Uses dedicated text colors (e.g., Blue for new artifacts, Black for traditional stages, and Purple for updates) to simplify visual navigation.
• Annotated Task Notes: Key rows contain descriptions of the required activities or outputs right inside the MPP file notes section.
• Embedded Best Practices: Pre-configured with dynamic WBS (Work Breakdown Structure) codes, baseline options, and calendar tracking for public holidays and resource leave.
