The Excel project management solution facilitates the creation of project plans and monitoring of progress through automated features. Project budget and resource requirements are established as tasks are identified and defined. Industry specific phase and task text can be utilized to accelerate project planning. Project monitoring is automated via the distribution and importing of progress from individual participant files.

The Excel project management and planning solution provides the core requirements for planning and monitoring projects in a lightweight and simple to use application. While project planning workflow is generic to any project type, predefined phase and task texts can be defined and used to speed up the planning process. Project budget and resource structures update automatically to task definitions and timing is calculated automatically from underlying constraint data. Participant productivity levels, dependencies and prioritization is all intelligently accounted for to create the automated Gantt schedule with detailed information per period and task. Individual spreadsheets can be generated for each participant to communicate task requirements and allow updating progress information. Project monitoring is automated by the import of participant progress spreadsheets and detailed status reporting under earning value analysis.

The solution facilitates the creation of project plans as well as the ongoing management of progress.
