[This document is a template of a Project Quality Management Plan document for a
project. The template includes instructions to the author, boilerplate text, and fields that
should be replaced with the values specific to the project.
 Blue italicized text enclosed in square brackets ([text]) provides instructions to
the document author, or describes the intent, assumptions and context for
content included in this document.
 Blue italicized text enclosed in angle brackets (<text>) indicates a field that
should be replaced with information specific to a particular project.
 Text and tables in black are provided as boilerplate examples of wording and
formats that may be used or modified as appropriate to a specific project. These
are offered only as suggestions to assist in developing project documents; they
are not mandatory formats.
When using this template for your project document, it is recommended that you follow
these steps:
1. Replace all text enclosed in angle brackets (i.e., <Project Name>) with the
correct field values. These angle brackets appear in both the body of the
document and in headers and footers. To customize fields in Microsoft Word
(which display a gray background when selected):
a. Select File>Properties>Summary and fill in the Title field with the
Document Name and the Subject field with the Project Name.
b. Select File>Properties>Custom and fill in the Last Modified, Status, and
Version fields with the appropriate information for this document.
c. After you click OK to close the dialog box, update the fields throughout the
document with these values by selecting Edit>Select All (or Ctrl-A) and
pressing F9. Or you can update an individual field by clicking on it and
pressing F9. This must be done separately for Headers and Footers.
2. Modify boilerplate text as appropriate to the specific project.
3. To add any new sections to the document, ensure that the appropriate header
and body text styles are maintained. Styles used for the Section Headings are
Heading 1, Heading 2 and Heading 3. Style used for boilerplate text is Body
Text.
4. To update the Table of Contents, right-click and select “Update field” and choose
the option- “Update entire table”
5. Before submission of the first draft of this document, delete this “Notes to the
Author” page and all instructions to the author, which appear throughout the
document as blue italicized text enclosed in square brackets.]
