The situation
When this template earns its place
The project has authority and clear roles; now the team needs a sequence it can actually run. The plan connects each task to an owner, start and finish dates, a status and the work it depends on.

FAQ
Questions before you use it
What is the minimum useful project plan?
A deliverable-oriented task list with one owner, start and finish dates, dependencies and a current status.
How are workdays calculated?
The template uses Excel NETWORKDAYS from Start to Finish.
Should milestones be separate tasks?
Use a zero- or one-day decision task when the milestone needs an owner and evidence, such as go/no-go.
Can I edit it in the browser?
Yes. The F1 spreadsheet opens on the page without registration.
