Status meetings go one of two ways: you assemble numbers for an hour beforehand, or you walk in with a dashboard that already has them. This Excel KPI dashboard tracks schedule, cost, and risk indicators on one screen with automated charts — no chart-building, no copy-paste ritual.

Which KPIs the dashboard tracks

The template focuses on the indicators sponsors actually ask about: schedule performance against plan, cost consumed against budget, open risks and issues by severity, and milestone completion. Each one updates from the data sheet — you maintain numbers, the dashboard maintains itself.

What’s inside the template

• A one-screen dashboard with automated charts for schedule, cost, and risk
• A structured data sheet that feeds every visual
• Print- and screenshot-friendly layout for status decks and emails

How to use it

1. Enter your project baseline: milestones, budget, planned dates.
2. Update actuals weekly in the data sheet.
3. Open the dashboard tab — it’s already current for the meeting.

All our templates run in Microsoft Excel 2010 or later on Windows. They use macros for their built-in automation — when you first open one, click Enable Content in the yellow bar and everything works.
