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 Project Tracker gives every task an owner, a deadline, and a status.

What’s inside this Project Tracker template

• Recurring task support — mark tasks that repeat weekly or monthly and they reset automatically
• Time log per task — record actual hours spent next to estimated hours for future planning
• Completion rate tracker — see what percentage of tasks finish on time across the project
• Archive tab — completed tasks move out of the active view without being deleted

How to use this Project Tracker template

1. Get access using the button above, then save your copy to Drive.
2. Start by listing your project milestones in the milestones tab.
3. Break each milestone into tasks with owners, deadlines, and priority levels.
4. Share the sheet with your team — everyone updates their own tasks directly.
5. Run a weekly review using the status dashboard to flag overdue or blocked items.
