Plan any project in one spreadsheet: tasks, owners, deadlines and a Gantt timeline that draws itself.

Who it is for

Anyone running a project at work or at home: a website relaunch, an office move, an event, a product launch, a renovation. No project software and no training needed.

What's inside (10 tabs)

  • Cover and Start Here: use it in 3 steps, tab guide, notes on every tricky cell
  • Settings: project name, team members, phases, Days or Weeks timeline, colour theme, status date
  • Project overview: dashboard with tasks, done, in progress, late, % complete, days left, next milestone, 3 charts and a project brief
  • Task list: 80 rows with phase, owner, priority, dates, status, % done, auto progress bar and Late / Due soon / On track flags
  • Timeline: the automatic Gantt chart with milestones (◆) and a today column
  • Milestones: due dates with Reached / Missed / This week flags
  • Weekly status report: fills in its own numbers, late list and due-in-7-days list
  • Example project: a filled website relaunch, live with today's date
  • Next step

Signature feature: the auto gantt timeline

Type a task with a start and end date. The bar appears on the timeline, turns dark as % done grows and turns terracotta when the task is late. Your dashboard and weekly status update at the same time.
