Table Structures & Data Organization

To-Do List (Manager View) – Primary Table Structure

This table serves as the core of the Strategy Planning To-Do List. It organizes tasks by strategic objective, responsible party, timeline, and progress status.

Column Header	Data Type / Format	Description / Purpose
ID	Text/Number (Auto-increment)	Unique identifier for each task (e.g., STRAT-001).
Strategy Objective	Text	The high-level strategic goal the task contributes to (e.g., "Expand into APAC Markets").
Task Description	Text (Max 200 characters)	Detailed action item that must be completed.
Owner (Responsible)	Text (Dropdown list of team members)	Name of the individual accountable for task completion.
Due Date	Date	Scheduled deadline for task completion.
Status	Dropdown: Not Started, In Progress, Completed, On Hold	Real-time progress tracking of each task.
Priority Level	Dropdown: High, Medium, Low	Indicates urgency and strategic impact.
Estimated Effort (Hours)	Numeric (0-100)	Man-hours required to complete the task.
Actual Effort (Hours)	Numeric	Updated by owner upon completion; used for performance analysis.
Progress %	Formula-based (0–100%)	Dynamically calculates completion percentage based on status and input fields.

Formulas Required for Dynamic Functionality

Progress %: =IF(OR(Status="Completed", Status="On Hold"), 100, IF(Status="In Progress", 50, 0))
This formula assigns standard progress values based on status.
Overdue Indicator: =IF(AND(Due_Date"Completed"), "Overdue", "On Track")
Flags tasks that are past due and not completed.
Prioritized Task Count: =COUNTIF(Priority_Level, "High")
Counts high-priority tasks for dashboard reporting.

Conditional Formatting Rules (Manager View)

To enhance visual clarity and immediate insight, apply the following formatting rules:

Overdue Tasks: Highlight rows in red if Due Date is before today AND Status ≠ "Completed".
High Priority Tasks: Apply yellow fill to cells in Priority Level column where value = "High".
Status Indicators: Color-code status cells: Red for "Not Started", Orange for "In Progress", Green for "Completed", Gray for "On Hold".
Progress Visualization: Use data bars in the Progress % column to show completion levels visually.

User Instructions

Initial Setup: Begin by defining your organization's strategic objectives in the "Strategy Roadmap" sheet. Assign each objective a unique code.
