Marketing Plan Chore Chart – Manager View
The Marketing Plan Chore Chart – Manager View is a specialized Excel template designed to transform the traditionally linear concept of a marketing plan into an actionable, accountability-driven chore chart system. Unlike generic marketing spreadsheets, this template uses chore-chart principles—task ownership, deadlines, progress tracking, and visual accountability—to empower marketing managers with clarity and control over team deliverables. The “Manager View” ensures that leadership has a centralized dashboard to monitor all campaign activities as if they were household chores: who’s responsible, when it’s due, whether it’s done, and what needs attention.
Sheet Names
This template consists of four core sheets:
- Master Chore Log – The central database tracking all marketing tasks.
- Team Assignments – A view organized by team member, showing their individual chore list.
- Manager Dashboard – Executive summary with charts, KPIs, and status indicators.
- Templates & Instructions – Reference guide for new users and formula explanations.
Table Structures & Column Definitions
The Master Chore Log is the foundational table with the following columns:
| Column Name | Data Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ID | Number (Auto-increment) | Unique task identifier generated automatically. |
| Chore Title | Text (Required) | |
| Category | Dropdown: Social Media, Email, SEO, Content, Paid Ads, Events | Categorizes tasks for filtering and reporting. |
| Assignee | Text (Dropdown from Team List) | |
| Due Date | Date (YYYY-MM-DD) | |
| Status | Dropdown: Not Started, In Progress, On Hold, Completed | |
| Prioritization | Dropdown: High, Medium, Low | |
| Estimated Hours | Number (Decimal) | |
| Actual Hours | Number (Decimal) | |
| Description | Memo/Text Area | |

Conditional Formatting Rules
- Red fill: Tasks overdue (Due Date < TODAY() and Status ≠ Completed)
- Orange fill: Tasks due within 3 days and still “Not Started”
- Green fill: “Completed” tasks
- Bold text + yellow highlight: High-priority tasks with status ≠ Completed
- Icon sets (traffic lights): Applied to Status column for visual scanning.
