How to use it
Three steps
- Download the PDF (email-gated, free) and open it alongside the work you want to organise.
- Fill in the blanks with your own details and remove sections you do not need — it is a starting point, not a form.
- Share the adapted version with whoever will use it and revisit it after the first month — most teams trim it once the habit sticks.
