Key Formulas Used

Task ID Auto-generation: `=CONCATENATE("ST-", TEXT(ROW()-1, "000"))` — Automatically generates sequential IDs in column A.
Status Indicator: `=IF(TODAY() > [Due Date], "Overdue", IF([Due Date] = TODAY(), "Today", "Upcoming"))` — Flags tasks based on current date.
Days Until Due: `=DAYS([Due Date], TODAY())` — Shows how many days remain to complete the task.
Total Tasks & Completed: In the dashboard, use `=COUNTA(A2:A100)` for total tasks and `=COUNTIF(StatusRange, "Completed")` for completed count.
Completion Percentage: `=(Completed Count / Total Count) * 100` — Calculated in the dashboard to show overall progress.

Conditional Formatting

This template uses intelligent visual cues to improve usability, essential for a startup-style interface:

Overdue Tasks: Red fill with white text (if due date is earlier than today).
Today's Tasks: Yellow background to highlight immediate responsibilities.
High Priority: Orange text and bold font.
Bubble Chart for Effort vs. Urgency: In the dashboard, visualizes tasks based on estimated time (effort) and deadline proximity (urgency).
