Table Structures and Columns
1. Main Dashboard (KPI Tracker)
This is the central hub of the template, providing an at-a-glance view of all critical KPIs.
| KPI Name | Target Value | Current Value | Progress (%) | Status (Green/Amber/Red) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Task Completion Rate | 100% | =SUMIF('Project Plan & Milestones'!$E:$E,"Completed",'Project Plan & Milestones'!$D:$D)/COUNTA('Project Plan & Milestones'!$D:$D) | =ROUND((Current Value / Target Value)*100,2)&"%" | =IF(Progress (%) >= 95%, "Green", IF(Progress (%) >= 75%, "Amber", "Red")) |
| On-Time Delivery Rate | 90% | =COUNTIFS('Project Plan & Milestones'!$F:$F,"<=Due Date",'Project Plan & Milestones'!$E:$E,"Completed")/COUNTA('Project Plan & Milestones'!$D:$D) | =ROUND((Current Value / Target Value)*100,2)&"%" | =IF(Progress (%) >= 95%, "Green", IF(Progress (%) >= 75%, "Amber", "Red")) |
2. Project Plan & Milestones
This sheet maps out the full project lifecycle with detailed task tracking.
| Task ID | Description | Start Date | Due Date | Status (Not Started/In Progress/Completed) | KPI Link (e.g., Task Completion) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| T-001 | Requirement Gathering Phase | 2024-03-01 | 2024-03-15 | In Progress | Task Completion Rate, Timeline Adherence |
| T-002 | Design Finalization | 2024-03-16 | 2024-03-31 | Not Started | Milestone Timeliness, Quality Score (linked) |
| T-003 | Development Phase I | 2024-04-01 | 2024-05-15 | In Progress | Task Completion Rate, Bug Rate (linked) |
3. KPI Definitions & Targets
A reference sheet that defines all monitored KPIs with target values and calculation logic.
| KPI Name | Definition | Target Value | Data Source (Sheet/Cell) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Task Completion Rate | % of tasks completed vs. total planned tasks. | 100% | =COUNTIF('Project Plan & Milestones'!E:E,"Completed")/COUNTA('Project Plan & Milestones'!D:D) |
| On-Time Delivery Rate | % of milestones delivered on or before due date. | 90% | =COUNTIFS('Project Plan & Milestones'!F:F,"<=Today",'Project Plan & Milestones'!E:E,"Completed")/COUNTA('Project Plan & Milestones'!D:D) |
4. Data Entry Log (Daily/Weekly)
A historical log that records changes, updates, and comments.

Required Formulas
All formulas are designed for automatic updates and dynamic recalculations:
=COUNTIF('Project Plan & Milestones'!E:E,"Completed")/COUNTA('Project Plan & Milestones'!D:D)– Task Completion Rate.=COUNTIFS('Project Plan & Milestones'!F:F,"<=TODAY()", 'Project Plan & Milestones'!E:E, "Completed")/COUNTA('Project Plan & Milestones'!D:D)– On-Time Delivery Rate.=IF(Progress >= 0.95, "Green", IF(Progress >= 0.75, "Amber", "Red"))– Status indicator for KPIs.=TODAY()– Used in date comparisons to reflect current progress.
Conditional Formatting Rules
- Status Column (Green/Amber/Red): Conditional formatting based on KPI progress percentages.
- Due Date Column: Highlight past due dates in red; upcoming deadlines in yellow if within 3 days.
