Every template I've made. Yours, free.

Published 26 days ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

today is a special issue. I am giving you all the templates I have created so far, for free.

Why today? Because I am on vacation and wanted to give you a quick win.

Templates:

  1. ​Internal Product Website Template: A ready-made internal product page so stakeholders know what your product does and who to ask.
  2. ​Definition of Done Workshop Template: Run a workshop with your team to agree on what "done" actually means.
  3. ​User Persona Template: Capture who your internal users are and what they actually need.
  4. ​Internal Go-To-Market Strategy: Plan how to roll out an internal product and drive real adoption.
  5. ​Disaster Recovery Plan Template: Document how your product gets back up when something breaks.
  6. ​The Confident Product Update System: A repeatable way to write stakeholder updates without the dread.

Checklists:

  1. ​How to Nail Your First 90 Days Taking Over an Internal Product: What to focus on in your first three months inheriting a product.
  2. ​Testing Starter Checklist for Internal PMs: The testing basics to cover before you ship.
  3. ​Internal Product Launch Checklist: Everything to cover before you put an internal product in front of users.

What do you think?

Did these templates save you some time?

Hit reply and let me know — do you love it, hate it, want more of something else?

See you next week,
