Project Timeline: A project timeline template is useful if you want to track an entire project from conception to close. This example includes a visual timeline that lays out the life cycle of a project and the major activities that need to happen during each phase. You’ll learn more about creating and tracking a project timeline later in the course and get to experience working with your own project timeline templates.
Project Tracking: A project tracking template is useful for tracking your project’s budget, deliverables, and other data. This example includes columns for tracking costs and time, as well as a column with dropdown lists for tracking tasks’ priority levels. Other features include formulas for calculating hours, costs, and percentage of deliverables completed, which allow you to track your spending and progress on a project.
Gantt Chart: A Gantt chart combines many of the aspects of other types of project management spreadsheets into one. It organizes tasks by day and is useful for showing the relationships between the many moving parts of a project. It’s also helpful for managing a project with multiple collaborators. Gantt charts often include conditional formatting that makes cells change color based on how far along the project is so you can immediately determine how much progress you have made on a particular task.
Event Marketing Timeline: A timeline template is useful for creating a schedule, tracking events, and visualizing the tasks and milestones involved in a project. You might use this template to manage a project that involves a lot of marketing or public-facing tasks. You can track social media posts, market research, and coordinate content across multiple platforms.
