Milestone Tracker template

Just the dates that matter: milestones by workstream, linked so a late one pushes the ones after it.

Sponsors, PMOs and anyone reporting upwards on a plan someone else runs in detail.

What's included

A milestone register with nothing in the way. Nine dated milestones from contract signature to benefits review, grouped by workstream and chained so the go-live cannot sit before UAT and training are complete. Each carries a milestone status and a note. The timeline shows the chain as diamonds; the register is the list a steering committee reads.

Workflow

4 statuses that match the work

Statuses are the board's columns and the filters everywhere else. The one marked complete counts a task as done; edit the list any time.

  1. On track
  2. At risk
  3. Delayed
  4. Complete
Built-in dependency logic

9 links, so a slip shows up where it lands

The longest chain in the template. Every link is real: the Gantt draws it, the Impact view scores it, and the simulator moves everything downstream when you delay a task.
