Line planning templates
Structures for planning a range, laying it out, and running the review that signs it off. All three are free — the line plan workbook and the line board template download with a work email; the review agenda needs no email at all.
Free line board template →
A ready-to-use grid for laying out a season’s range by category, colorway, price tier, and option count — from concept through to a sign-off-ready line.
- Best for
- Teams without a dedicated tool
- Use when
- You are building a board from scratch and want a structure that will not fall apart mid-season.
Line plan workbook →
Option budgets by category, price tier and drop, carryover vs new, planned units, and checks against factory minimums, mill minimums and the margin target.
- Best for
- Planners and merchandisers
- Use when
- You need the count per category, tier and drop settled before design proposes the range.
Line review agenda and sign-off template →
A reusable agenda with participants, prework, a timeboxed running order, an add/cut/rebalance decision log, and a sign-off record.
- Best for
- Whoever runs the review
- Use when
- You want the meeting to end with recorded decisions rather than a vague consensus.

- Use when
- You are prepping a board for a line review and want the meeting spent on judgement.
