Single Project Timeline Template Excel

The Template can be used to list tasks for a single project.

  • Each task has a name, start end, and effort.
  • The start date uses the end date of the previous task. If you want a different start date, then just type the date into the cell.
  • The end date is calculated using the start and effort. Only weekdays are counted.
  • You can change the start date on the timeline and scale on the timeline in the config sheet.
  • Depending on the duration of your project, set the scale of the timeline. If your project is few weeks, then set the scale to 1 day. If it is log, then set it to 7 days or more.
  • Note that the bigger the scale lesser the accuracy of the start and end dates.
