Waterfall Project Plan Gantt Dashboard

Waterfall Project Plan & Gantt · A$24 (introductory)

The whole waterfall method in one workbook — plan, schedule, milestones, resources and cost, all feeding one dashboard.

Most waterfall projects run on four disconnected spreadsheets and a Gantt chart somebody redraws by hand every fortnight. This is all of it in one file, where the dashboard reads from the tabs rather than being typed up separately.

What's inside

• Task plan — every task with owner, dates, dependencies and percentage complete
• Gantt — draws itself from the task plan, with a today line
• Milestones — baseline against forecast, with slip shown in days
• Resources — who is assigned to what, and where the load falls
• Cost plan — budget against actual, phased across the project
• Project definition — scope, objectives, exclusions and assumptions in the same file as the plan
• Document control — revision history and approvals
• Dashboard — schedule health, cost position and what is coming next
• Twenty-three tabs in total, with a worked sample project included

Every formula is unlocked

You can see exactly how each number is calculated, and change it if your business works differently. Most template sellers protect their sheets so you cannot look inside. This one is open, because a formula you cannot inspect is a formula you cannot trust.

Who it's for

Project managers running sequential delivery — construction, fit-out, installation, procurement — and anyone who has been asked for a plan, a Gantt and a cost report and would rather maintain one file than four.

How it works

Replace the sample project with your own. Enter tasks, dates and costs; the Gantt, the slip, the resource load and the dashboard all calculate themselves. No macros, no add-ins, no subscription — a normal Excel file that opens in any version of Excel and keeps working forever.

Pairs with the Critical Path Method Project Plan (A$19) if you need float calculated, and the Milestone Project Plan (A$19) for reporting upward.
