Inside the File

This system is built for maximum simplicity with a high-performance, 2-tab structure:

• Gantt Chart: Your all-in-one workspace. Enter task names, assignees, priorities, and dates directly into the table to see the timeline visualization populate instantly on the right.

• Settings: The customization center. Define your team members, unique status labels, and priority levels to ensure your dropdown menus match your specific industry terminology.

To ensure the automated features and logic perform as intended, please verify your software meets these requirements:

• Microsoft Excel: Fully compatible with Microsoft 365 or Excel 2021 (Desktop version recommended for full functionality).

• Google Sheets: You will need a Google Account (Personal or Workspace) to access and save your private copy.

• Protected Logic: We’ve secured the complex formulas and background calculations so you can manage your business with confidence, without the risk of accidentally breaking the system.
