Milestone Tracker

There are, and some are fine. The difference is what has been checked. This file was built from scratch, then every formula in it was recalculated by a separate checker that compares each result against an independently worked-out answer — 11 of them here. A template that looks right and totals wrong is worse than no template at all, and that is the usual failing of one downloaded from a search result.

It also opens with sample rows already filled in, so you can see every formula working before you touch it, and it is set up to print without fighting the page setup. No email wall, no signup, no watermark, and you can use it commercially.

Projects slip one milestone at a time, and it is easy to miss until the end date moves. This Excel milestone tracker records the baseline date you committed to and the current forecast date for every milestone, and works out the slippage in days.

The schedule health summary shows milestones complete, total and worst slippage, how many milestones are slipping and the next one due.

Baseline is the date you originally committed to. Slippage compares forecast against it, so the damage is visible early.

The file opens with sample rows so you can see every formula working before you change anything. Type your own figures over them. When you need more rows, insert them inside the existing block rather than underneath it, so the totals keep covering every row.
