Frequently asked questions

Can I share this with my whole team?

Yes. Share the Google Sheets link with edit access and everyone updates their own tasks directly. The dashboard reflects all changes in real time.

Can I use this for multiple projects at once?

Yes. Duplicate the project tab for each new project and use the summary tab to see progress across all active projects simultaneously.

Does the template send deadline reminders?

Google Sheets does not send notifications natively, but you can set up email alerts using Google Apps Script — a one-time setup that sends a daily summary of overdue tasks.
