Project management templates
Plan tasks, dates and owners on a timeline that draws itself, and keep a renovation on budget from the builder's quote to the final stage payment.
These templates are for people who manage a project but don't want to learn project software. In the Gantt chart you type a task, a start date and a duration, and the bar appears on the timeline; owners, status and percentage complete sit beside each task, so one sheet works as plan, tracker and weekly update.
The renovation budget spreadsheet is for refurbishments and extensions: set the budget and a contingency, list each job by room and trade against what the builder quoted, add materials and labour as invoices arrive, and follow stage payments so nothing slips past its date.
Every file uses dd/mm/yyyy dates and A4 paper, and works in Excel, Excel for Mac, Google Sheets and LibreOffice without macros.
