Formulas Required

The template relies on several key Excel formulas to automate data management:

=TODAY(): Automatically populates the current date in assigned/due fields.
=IF(AND(DueDate: Flags overdue tasks automatically.


    =IF(ISBLANK(Progress), 0, Progress): Ensures progress percentage is valid and avoids errors.
    =VLOOKUP(Owner, Team Members!A:B, 2, FALSE): Dynamically pulls team member names from the master list.
    =NETWORKDAYS(Start_Date, End_Date): Calculates total workdays between start and end times.
    =SUMIFS(Progress Column, Status, "In Progress"): Aggregates progress for analysis in dashboard views.



Conditional Formatting Rules
To enhance readability and team engagement, the following conditional formatting rules are applied:

    Status Highlighting: 
        Green if "Completed"
Yellow if "In Progress" (and due in <3 days)
Red if overdue or on hold
    
    Priority Indicators: 
        High → Red background
Moderate → Orange
Low → Gray
    
    Progress Bars (using Data Bars): Visual progress indicators in the "Progress (%)" column.
    Due Date Alerts: Cells with due dates in the next 3 days are highlighted in yellow.


User Instructions
Step-by-step guidance for team members:

    Open the template and ensure all team members have access.
    Each user should update their assigned tasks using the "Task Log" section daily.
    Set a status (Not Started, In Progress, Completed) as soon as work begins or ends.
    Add comments when blockers or changes occur to maintain transparency.
    The “Progress Summary” sheet will auto-update each night based on input from all members.
    Use the “Team Availability Calendar” to check if a teammate is available for collaboration sessions or task handoffs.
    At the end of each week, review the “Reports & Analytics” dashboard to assess team performance and identify bottlenecks.
