Project spreadsheet is one of the best computer-driven ways to represent and display project activities and tasks as far as PM spreadsheet provides unlimited capabilities in project facts recording and description. Unlimited capabilities of project spreadsheet mean possibility to list any number of records and to describe them by any number of attributes. It includes multiple cells that together make up a grid of rows and columns, so every cell in a spreadsheet may contain text, numeric value or a formula. For example project planning spreadsheet can ensure clear picture of what should be accomplished, acquired and delivered to achieve successful project finale, and project tracking spreadsheet helps to identify what is already done. In other words project planning spreadsheet can be used to create an action plan, items/costs estimate and list of goals/requirements. The same prdocument can be used as a project tracking spreadsheet because you can use it for making notes and checking off completed items. In this case you get a single project management spreadsheet and this appears quite effective and convenient for small and middle scale projects. As it was mentioned, advantage of project spreadsheet is unlimited number of attributes that can be given to each record. For example if you use spreadsheet to compose an action plan, you can describe each activity and task with multiple attributes such as target dates, assignments, costs, priorities etc. Some software products even offer special template for planning and tracking, but not every tool can be considered as effective job tracking sheet.
Since computers are broadly used in offices, the most popular tool is MS Excel. You can find different project spreadsheet templates for this product on the Web, but MS Excel is not an ideal solution when it comes to team management. This is so, because MS Excel cannot be accessed by two or more users simultaneously. Only one user can view and edit one MS Excel at the same time, so if several team members want to open this file in order to see their assignments or to update their tasks statuses - they should do this by turns. For such cases it is better to use special multi-user software that allows sharing data.
