To begin, simply enter the start date—the calendar will automatically adjust to show the upcoming three weeks based on your chosen start point. You can easily navigate to any week in your project timeline to get a detailed look ahead. Though designed for three-week views, the template allows you to move beyond the first three weeks and check progress for any week within your schedule.
Tasks are automated, and the look-ahead calendar updates dynamically as you input the start date and duration for each task. The Gantt chart highlights task durations, specific days, and the percentage completed, to provide you an accurate view of performance and progress.
You can customize each task or phase with different colors to distinguish them visually, or adjust the entire theme of the chart via the settings sheet to suit your preferences. The settings sheet also lets you define team lists and update task priority statuses as needed.
This template allows you to look as far ahead as needed while keeping a consistent three-week display. It’s completely functional in both Excel and Google Sheets.
