Project Management Template, Editable Excel Planner, Gantt Chart for Status Reports, Costing Delivery, Bids

Project Management Templates Overview

Agile & Prince2 Project Management Templates | Editable Microsoft Excel Project Planner with Gantt View for Status Reports and Costing Projects, Bids.

This Project Management template bundle has been put together from over 30+ years of delivering small and large projects successfully to both public and private sector clients.

Template Structure

Tab One: A useful project planner spreadsheet in Excel which essentially presents an alternative to MS Project where either the project manager, client or both don’t have or don’t want to use MS Project (MSP, MPP) for tracking the project tasks and status. This spreadsheet is essentially MS Project represented in an Excel spreadsheet with much of the detail that is required in a comprehensive project plan including charts and resource costings calculated across and aligned to the project timeline.

Tab Two: A useful plan on a page (POaP) Excel spreadsheet which incorporates both resource allocation and costings aligned across the project timeline. This is useful when constructing Statements of Work (SoW) or working on bids and trying to establish broad stroke costs and time to completion for the project.

The spreadsheet is fully editable and can be tailored as required to provide a portable project plan for both internal and client facing meetings.

Benefits

1. Offers a portable alternative to MS Project for when both internal and external stakeholders don’t have a license for that tool

2. Great for constructing plans and looking at resource costings across a timeline to cost up bids and statements of work (SoW)

3. Can be used as part of internal and client status reports as a show and tell of project position
