The Project Management Institute found that 70% of projects fail to achieve their original goals — and the most common cause isn’t talent or budget, it’s the absence of a tracking system. This To Do List gives every task an owner, a deadline, and a status.

What’s inside this To Do List 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

Why Google Sheets for To Do List?

The real advantage of tracking projects in Google Sheets is flexibility. When your process changes — and it will — you change a column, not a software setting. The tool adapts to the work, not the other way around.
