Purpose
Milestones, weekly updates, delivery checkpoints
Enter the project name, location, owner, and key dates in the basic settings sheet to align the overall view.
Once you fill in the milestone master with planned and actual dates, it is easier to reflect the data in the monthly plan and weekly coordination views.
Meeting and delivery checkpoints stay in the same workbook, so you do not have to search for separate handout files.
After downloading, start with the basic settings sheet.
Workflow
How milestone tracking works in Excel
When the project setup, milestone master, monthly plan, weekly plan, and meeting/delivery checkpoints stay in separate sections, day-to-day coordination becomes much easier.
Register milestones
Add the monthly milestone plan and the checkpoints the team needs to watch.
Update weekly progress
Group this week's focus items and delays so everyone can review them in meetings.
Confirm handoffs
Keep review notes, delivery events, and follow-up actions together so the next step is clear.
