A Slateo board from the Consulting Firm template: client projects moving through Discovery, In Progress, Client Review and Delivered, with workstreams for deliverables, research and proposals.

What is in the Consulting Firm template?

Last updated:

The Consulting Firm template creates a project with 4 workstreams: Client Projects, Deliverables, Research & Analysis and Proposals. Each workstream has its own stages: Client Projects, for example, runs Discovery → In Progress → Client Review → Delivered. Built for consultants and consulting firms, and every stage can be renamed, removed or given rules once you're in.

Make it yours

Change any stage once you are in

Rename a stage, add a new one, or change its type. Add entry conditions, like a due date before review, and require an approval before work moves into a stage.

Edit Stage in Slateo: stage name, stage type, two entry conditions and required approvers.
