Quick-start Your IT Projects with This Template

Just getting started on your project management journey? Hive has you covered. As a project management and collaboration tool, we've seen many, many simple projects come and go through Hive. We've boiled down those insights and feedback we've received to create a simple project plan template for you and your IT teammates.

Use this IT project template to understand some of the basic functionality in Hive, how projects can be laid out, and the overall project management process. Even if you've never worked with a project management tool before, this is the first step to get you set up in Hive correctly.

If you don't have an existing Hive account, you'll need to visit this link and create your Hive workspace. From there, templates will be available to use when you create a project, or from the blue "?" in the upper right corner of your workspace. Just click on "Template Library" to navigate to our pre-saved project template list.

How will this template help you?

Project management templates can result in numerous benefits and enhancements in IT work. This template serves as ready-made frameworks that can be easily customized and applied to various IT projects, saving time and effort throughout the project lifecycle.

We recommend starting with this project management template in Kanban, or status view. We've set the template up in this view so you can easily understand how actions progress throughout the project duration. This template will help your team visualize their workflow, enabling them to prioritize tasks efficiently and allocate resources effectively.

This template is designed to help you:

• Plot out your initial IT workflow in Hive

• Invite team members to work and assign their first tasks

• Understand the basic building blocks of Hive and how they can help you

Once you kick off a project from this template, you'll be able to edit all of the tasks, subtasks, due dates, and assignees to fit your specific workflow. If it's easier, you can just use the template as inspiration or a starting point, and create a separate project based on the part of the template that works for you.

This template includes:

• Action assignments

• Subactions

• Statuses

• Due Dates

• Labels

With this simple project template, you can effectively organize and track your team's technical tasks from start to finish, ensuring smooth execution and successful outcomes.
