The template is structured as a Weekly cycle—specifically designed to be updated every Monday and reviewed by Friday—allowing organizations to track progress in real time. The integration of Goal Setting with equipment inventory enables leaders to assess whether goals are being met not just through performance metrics, but also by ensuring that the necessary physical assets (equipment) are available, maintained, and properly allocated.

• Equipment Status Check: =IF(AND([Goal Status]="In Progress", [Equip Status]="Available"), "Aligned", "Misaligned")
• Week Number: =WEEKNUM(TODAY(), 2)
• Average Progress: =AVERAGEIFS(Progress%, Status, "In Progress")
• Maintenance Due Count: =COUNTIFS(Next Maintenance Date, "<=" & TODAY())

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Goal Progress: Green (≥90%), Yellow (70–89%), Red (<70%)
• Status Cells: Highlight "In Use" in blue, "Maintenance" in orange, "Out of Service" in red
• Maintenance Due Alerts: Any row where Next Maintenance Date ≤ Today → fill with red background
• Mismatch Flags: In Equipment-Goal Matrix if Status Match is "Mismatched" → highlight in yellow
