Implementation Guidance for Excel:

  1. Formatting: Copy the table above and paste directly into cell A1 of an Excel sheet.
  2. Conditional Formatting:
    • Apply "Status" column to use a color-coded dropdown (e.g., Green for Completed, Yellow for In Progress, Red for Delayed).
    • Apply "Priority" column to use icon sets (e.g., Red flag for High, Yellow for Medium).
  3. Tracking: Use the "Completion %" column to drive a Progress Bar (Insert > Sparklines) in an adjacent column for visual tracking.
  4. Data Validation: Convert this range into an official Excel Table (Ctrl + T) to enable filtering and sorting by "Phase" or "Ownership."
