- KPI Master List: A centralized repository for all defined KPIs with metadata including targets, owners, measurement units, and weights.
- Project Timeline & Execution Plan: The core project planning sheet where tasks, milestones, timelines (monthly), responsibilities, and status are tracked.
- KPI Tracking Dashboard: A real-time visualization hub displaying performance trends through charts, progress bars, and color-coded statuses.
- Monthly Data Entry: A monthly input sheet that captures actual KPI values for each project phase or task on a recurring basis.

- Progress Calculation (Project Timeline Sheet):
=IF(Actual Progress="", "", (Actual Progress / 100) * 100)
This ensures consistent percentage representation. - Monthly Target Calculation:

=IF(Actual_Value >= Target_Value, "Met", IF(Actual_Value > Target_Value * 0.9, "Below Target", "Exceeded"))This dynamically assigns status based on performance. - Dashboard KPI Achievement (KPI Tracking Dashboard):
=SUMIFS(Actual_Value_Column, KPI_ID_Column, KPI_ID) / SUMIFS(Target_Value_Column, KPI_ID_Column, KPI_ID)Calculates year-to-date performance for each linked metric.
