Conditional Formatting Rules
To enhance visual clarity and prompt action, the following conditional formatting rules are applied:
- Overdue Tasks: Red fill with white text if Expected Completion Date is before today and status is not "Completed".
- On Track (≥85% completion): Green background for progress bars.
- Risk Alert (Variance > 10%): Orange highlight for any growth metric deviating by more than 10% from target.
