What is in this workbook?
This workbook has three sheets: Dashboard, Agency Timeline, and Milestones & Checklist. Dashboard is the quick-review surface, Agency Timeline is the editable working log, and Milestones & Checklist holds supporting inputs, reusable context, or working rules.
How the workflow and formulas work
Use Agency Timeline for task, owner, dependency, start week, start date, calculated end date, duration, completion, status, risk, remaining days, and week 1–8 timeline cells; use Milestones & Checklist for client and internal gates, risk, readiness, and checklist items. End date is Start date plus Duration minus one, and Remaining days uses MAX(Duration*(1-Complete),0). Dashboard sums remaining days, averages completion, counts high-risk work, and the timeline formula marks weeks inside each task window.
How to use it in Griddy
Replace the sample values before sharing, then review the calculated Dashboard fields after editing the working log. The workbook includes a dropdown validation resource and a conditional-formatting resource for the relevant review or status fields.
Keep sensitive records out of the workbook
Use project IDs and approved context. Do not put client secrets, unreleased credentials, or private audience data in the timeline. This workbook is a planning aid and does not replace accounting, legal, HR, tax, or education-record systems.
