The moment a project has more than three people involved, things slip through the cracks. This Balance Sheet is designed to prevent exactly that — clear task ownership, visible deadlines, and a status everyone can see without asking.

What’s inside this Balance Sheet template

• Milestone tracking — mark the major checkpoints that define project success
• Budget vs actual hours — see where the project is over-running before the deadline arrives
• Dependency notes — link tasks that must be completed before others can start
• Team workload view — see how many open tasks each person currently has
