A project template is a project that contains work packages and activities that you know you'll use again and again on other projects. Project templates are add-ins in Excel that cause the software to perform special operations or display specific information or data when you use certain features. Project templates provide the ability to automate repetitive processes, thereby improving the speed and accuracy of your work. A template project is a reusable code base that’s used as the foundation of projects, providing a starting point for your projects which can be customized to meet specific needs.
