Run multiple projects from one connected Excel control centre.
Plan, baseline, deliver, govern and report projects with connected schedules, resources, budgets, RAID, changes, acceptance, benefits and closure controls.
A complete look at what you are buying
A complete project-management operating system in Excel rather than a collection of disconnected templates. Source registers feed portfolio and selected-project views so the management picture stays tied to the underlying records.
Core planning and delivery
- Executive Project Portfolio Dashboard with live RAG, budget, capacity and delivery signals.
- Selected Project Explorer joining progress, budget, milestones, RAID, changes and actions for one project.
- Project Register and detailed Project Charter.
- Task Register with WBS, owner, dates, effort, dependencies, baseline, progress, acceptance conditions and status.
- 52-week selected-project Gantt chart.
- Five-lane Kanban board.
- Monthly project calendar and ordered look-ahead.
- Milestone and deliverable registers.
- Impact/effort and Eisenhower-style prioritisation views.
People, time and money
- Team Directory for resource IDs, roles, skills, rates and capacity.
- Resource allocation and capacity planning with over-allocation signals.
- Timesheet register for approved actual hours and labour-cost control.
- Budget and cost register covering baseline, approved change, revised budget, commitments, actuals, estimate to complete and forecast at completion.
- Baseline, actual and forecast positions are retained rather than replacing the original approved plan.
Governance, quality and outcomes
- RAID log covering risks, assumptions, issues and dependencies.
- Change Request register with impact, authority, implementation and closure data.
- Decision log retaining options, authority, rationale and evidence.
- Stakeholder, communications, meeting and action management.
- RACI assignments plus a selected-project responsibility matrix.
- Supplier and contract controls.
- Requirements and scope register with acceptance criteria and traceability.
- Quality, test and acceptance register with findings, rework and evidence.
- Benefits tracking, Agile backlog/sprints, retained status reports, lessons learned and project closure controls.

Before you buy
Excel & file requirements
- Designed for desktop Microsoft Excel 365 and modern Excel formula behaviour.
- Macro-free .xlsx format — no VBA, Power Query, external links, add-ins or cloud connections are required.
- Automatic calculation should remain enabled so connected views refresh after edits.
- The workbook is designed around prepared capacities including up to 50 projects and 500 tasks.
- Google Sheets, Apple Numbers and unsupported older Excel versions are not guaranteed to calculate or display the system correctly.
Important limitations
- This is a management/control workbook; it does not replace approved finance, HR, procurement, document-management or specialist project systems where those remain authoritative.
- RAGs, forecasts, scores and rankings are decision-support signals and require human review.
- Large changes can take time to recalculate; source values should be pasted into intended input columns rather than over formula/helper columns.
