| Estimated Time (Minutes) | Numeric (Integer) | Project duration estimate to help with workload forecasting and time management. |

Formulas Required
To automate tracking, the template includes several key formulas:
- Due Date Reminder (Dashboard):

- Task Count by Priority:
=COUNTIF(Prioritization_Column, "High")– Used in summary dashboard. - Total Estimated Workload:
=SUM(Estimated_Time_Column) - % Completion Rate:
=COUNTIF(Status_Column, "Completed") / COUNTA(Status_Column) - Next Due Task (Dashboard): Uses INDEX-MATCH to retrieve the next task based on date and status.

The template leverages conditional formatting to enhance visual clarity:
- Overdue Tasks: Red fill with white text (if Due Date is earlier than Today).
- Due Today: Yellow background with bold red font.
- Prioritization Colors: High = Red, Medium = Orange, Low = Green.
- Status Indicators: Completed tasks show green checkmarks (using icon sets).
