Project Management Templates for Excel & Word

Project management templates for Excel and Word: eight connected files for running a project week by week, from the work plan and task assignments to weekly reporting and the closure report. Every file uses the same fictional sample project (an online store launch), so names, dates and numbers match across the pack. Replace them with your own project. Six Excel workbooks with real formulas and two print-ready Word documents.

The files

• 01-Project-Plan-WBS.xlsx (Excel): summary with phase dates, effort and budget plus contingency %; work breakdown structure with owners, start dates, working-day durations, WORKDAY end dates, hours, rates and cost; a 22-week timeline drawn by conditional formatting; team rates, capacity and utilisation; milestones with variance and automatic status.
• 02-Task-Tracker-Dashboard.xlsx (Excel): task list with owner, priority, dates, % complete, automatic status (Done, Overdue, Due soon, In progress, Not started), days left and progress bars; a dashboard with 5 KPIs, counts by status, owner and priority, and two native charts.
• 03-Weekly-Status-Report.docx (Word, A4, 4 pages): overall red/amber/green status by area, summary, progress this week and next, milestones, budget, key issues and risks, change requests, decisions needed and a task overview.
• 04-RACI-Matrix.xlsx (Excel): 18 activities in 5 groups against up to 10 roles, colour-coded R/A/C/I drop-downs, an automatic check for one A and at least one R per activity, load per role, and a roles and people sheet.
• 05-Issue-and-Change-Log.xlsx (Excel): issue log with category, priority, owner, target date, days open and overdue flag; change request log with cost and schedule impact and the decision; summary with revised budget, contingency left and revised go-live date.
• 06-Decision-Log.xlsx (Excel): decisions with options considered, reason, decided by, forum, area, status, review date and linked items, plus a summary.
• 07-Meeting-Action-Tracker.xlsx (Excel): meeting log and action tracker linked to meetings, with owner, due date, status and automatic Overdue / Due this week flags, plus a summary by owner with a chart.

Four languages

The eight files come in four folders: English, Arabic, French and Spanish. The Arabic version is truly right to left: RTL paragraphs and tables in Word and right-to-left sheets in Excel, with Western digits. French and Spanish use local dates and number formats.

Design and editing

• Clean, neutral design: white pages, slate text and one purple accent (#6D28D9). Arial throughout, so there is nothing to install.
• Excel input cells are yellow with blue text; formula cells are protected without a password; drop-down lists, conditional formatting and print areas are set; no macros.
• Overdue items are calculated from a status date you set, or link it to today with TODAY().
• Real Word styles (headings, body, table style), page numbers, headers, footers and a table of contents in the closure report.
• A "YOUR LOGO" placeholder for your own logo.

Also included

• One PDF preview per language showing every page, sheet and chart.
• A README in English and Arabic on editing, formulas, colours and printing on A4 or US Letter.

All names, companies, figures, email addresses (example.com) and phone numbers are fictional samples. This is a template file pack; no software is included.
