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

What’s inside this 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 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.

Why Google Sheets for Tracker?

Google Sheets is the only project tracking tool your whole team already has access to. No new software to learn, no seats to purchase, no onboarding delay — just share the link and the project is visible to everyone in 30 seconds.

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.
