Very large library of templates for example for…

Project Smart is an Internet based project management resource that helps managers at all levels to improve their performance.

These checklists do act as a guide to the majority of the software development life cycle. Do provide a framework to review project activities. Do help you avoid many of the common causes of project failure.

Software Engineering Institute
The SEI is often identified with its CMM work. Over the years, the SEI has developed six Capability Maturity Model products. Some are new and build on the work of the older ones.
CMMs that the SEI is currently involved in developing, expanding, or maintaining are:
CMMI(Capability Maturity Model Integration) P-CMM (People Capability Maturity Model) SA-CMM (Software Acquisition Capability Maturity Model)
All the CMMs can be regarded as extensive checklists.
For me still the number one source for templates and checklists for IT related projects.
Great templates which include Project Plan, Quality Plan, Feasibility Study, Change Process, Risk Process, Issue Process,Change Form, Risk Form, Issue Form.
