En francaisABOUT THIS TOOLKITThe Health Information Systems Project Management toolkit was created for new and mid-level project managers to support preparation, planning, design, development, implementation, and project closeout processes. Overall, this toolkit is meant to support an Agile project management approach meaning that HIS projects are planned, designed and developed in an iterative way in order to deliver a product based on the actual needs of the stakeholders and end users of the product. This template serves as a guide and should be tailored to your project and project needs. Throughout the toolkit you’ll find useful links for additional templates, guidance (“boilerplate”) language to help guide, along with checklists to help project managers think through critical elements of this stage.
