Who this is for

Built for the people running the work, not writing about it.

If you're scrambling to ship a program with five workstreams and one calendar, you're who this is for.

Program Managers

Running multi team programs. Stitching plans across workstreams. Trying to keep the program coherent while everything around it changes.

PMO Leads

Setting up baseline standards across multiple programs. Looking for templates the team will actually use, not 60 page frameworks that gather dust.

Project Managers

Leading cross functional projects that have program level complexity. Tired of reinventing scope, governance, and reporting from scratch every time.

How they fit together

One methodology. Ten pillars. Buy the whole thing or pick a piece.

Program Sprint is the complete methodology with all ten structural pillars. Each individual toolkit is one pillar, useful on its own when that's the gap you're trying to plug.

Everything you need to run a program from kickoff to landing.

Program Sprint, the complete program management toolkit
Flagship · The complete toolkit

Program Sprint

A complete toolkit for running large programs. The methodology playbook plus all ten pillars in one bundle. The same operating system you'd build over years of running programs, set up in an afternoon.

What's inside

Methodology playbook + 10 templates. Scope, Roles, Governance, Standards, Planning, Tracking, Dependencies, Risks, Ways of Working, and One-View Reporting. Each with a worked example, a blank template, and a short guide.

Individual toolkits

Or pick the pillar you need.

Each one tackles a single gap. Same Excel + PDF format. Same minimal philosophy. Use them standalone or as components of the wider methodology.

Project Roles for Clarity toolkit
Pillar · Roles

Project Roles for Clarity

Everyone owns everything, so no one owns anything. Define roles once, deliver with clarity. RACI without the headache.

What's inside
Excel template with three tabs: program structure, decision rights, and team roster. PDF guide showing why RACI breaks at program level and what to use instead.

Governance for Large Programs toolkit
Pillar · Governance

Governance for Large Programs

Decisions stuck. Steering committees that don't steer. Escalations that go nowhere. A ready to use governance structure that actually moves things forward.

What's inside
Excel template with worked example for a platform migration program. Three tiers: Steer, Coordinate, Deliver. PDF guide with the reasoning and a 6 step setup process.

Standards for Large Programs toolkit
Pillar · Standards

Standards for Large Programs

Every team operates differently. No baseline for quality, cadence, or definition of done. Set the standard once and run the whole program against it.

What's inside
Excel template with seven standards prefilled with Program Sprint defaults. PDF guide explaining why most programs never set standards and how to enforce them.
£19 Buy →
One-View Reporting toolkit
Pillar · One-View

One-View Reporting

Stakeholders pulling status from ten different decks. You need one view that travels well. The same picture for the steering committee, the sponsor, and the team.

What's inside
Excel template tying benefit metrics to delivery, risks, dependencies, and asks. One row per metric. PDF guide on why most program reporting is broken and how to fix it.
£29 Buy →
Dependencies and Risks toolkit
Pillar · Deps & Risks

Dependencies & Risks

Risks tracked in spreadsheets nobody opens. Dependencies discovered too late. A simple way to see what's coming, what's blocking, and what to do about it.

What's inside
Excel template with internal and external dependency log and risk register tied to capabilities. PDF guide on identifying dependencies during planning rather than discovering them once the program is in flight.

About the author

Built by Swathi Kantharaja, founder of Structured Way.

I built these toolkits from years of running large programs. I have always been passionate about structure. After founding my own company and stepping away from full time program management, I wanted to give back to other program managers so they don't have to reinvent the wheel.

FAQ

Common questions.

Are these specific to a particular industry?
No. The toolkits are built around the structural problems of running multi team programs. Governance, scope, dependencies, risks, reporting. These look the same whether you're running a banking transformation, a SaaS platform migration, a hospital programme, or a government rollout. The worked examples use a platform migration scenario, but the underlying patterns transfer.
Do I need to know any methodology already?
No. Each toolkit is standalone. The PDF guide explains the reasoning before showing the template. If you've ever run a program of any size, you'll recognise the problems being solved.
Should I buy individual pillars or the full Program Sprint bundle?
If you're starting a new program from scratch, get Program Sprint. It's £99 for everything and saves you stitching things together. If you have a specific gap (your reporting is broken, your governance is theatre, your standards don't exist), buy the individual pillar that fixes it.
What format are the templates in?
Microsoft Excel (.xlsx) and Adobe PDF (.pdf). Excel works in Google Sheets, LibreOffice, and Numbers too. No proprietary tools, no software subscriptions, no app downloads.
What if I have questions after buying?
Email me. The toolkits are practical, but every program is different. I'm happy to think through how a specific toolkit applies to your situation. Contact link is in the footer.
Do you offer refunds?
Yes. If a toolkit isn't useful for your program, email me within 30 days and I'll refund the purchase. I'd rather you didn't use a tool that doesn't fit than have your money sitting somewhere it shouldn't.
Will there be more toolkits?
Yes. The other five pillars from Program Sprint will land as standalone toolkits over the coming months. If you've bought Program Sprint, you already have them all. The standalone versions are for people who want to pick and choose.

Stop reinventing the operating system.

The patterns are the same across every program. Buy the toolkit that fixes your specific gap, or get the whole thing and never reinvent again.
