FAQs: OPSP Template

Is the template really free?
Yes. No catch. We want more teams working from a clear plan.

Do I need the Scaling Up book to use this?
Helpful, not essential. If you want depth, we recommend it. If you want speed, book a facilitated session.

How often should I change it?
Update quarterly. Keep the annual goals stable unless the world changes.

What formats do you provide?
PDF for print. Ask us if you’d like a Google Sheet or Excel version.

Can you sanity-check our draft?
Yes. Share your draft and we’ll arrange a review with Kevin Riley,
