Keep your team aligned with a project tracker that shows every task, its owner, status, and deadline in one spreadsheet. This template is built for teams that want a simple, shareable view of project progress without the overhead of a full project management tool. Each row is a task with columns for the assignee, priority level, current status, start date, and due date. The status column uses plain text values like Not Started, In Progress, In Review, and Done, which your backend can update programmatically as work moves through your pipeline. Generate a new project tracker at the start of each sprint via the API, or maintain a single living document that gets updated throughout the project lifecycle. Share the link with stakeholders who need visibility without giving them access to your internal tools.

This template comes with 6 columns designed for a standard project tracker workflow. Each column can be renamed, reordered, or extended through the API or the browser editor.
A clear, actionable description of the work to be done.
The team member responsible for completing this task.
The urgency level: High, Medium, or Low.
The current state: Not Started, In Progress, In Review, or Done.
When work on this task is expected to begin.
The deadline for completing this task.
This template is a starting point. Here are specific ways to adapt it to your workflow:
Add an "Estimated Hours" and "Actual Hours" column pair to track effort alongside task status for better sprint planning.
Include a "Dependencies" column that references other task names, making it clear which tasks are blocked and by whom.
Add a "Sprint" or "Milestone" column to group tasks by delivery phase, useful for filtering during sprint reviews.
Yes. Fetch the current sheet, then send a PUT request to update specific cells when events happen in your pipeline. For example, when a pull request is merged, your GitHub Action can call the API to change the task status from "In Progress" to "In Review" automatically.
There is no hard limit on the number of rows. Spreadsheets with up to 10,000 rows perform well in the browser editor. For very large projects, consider splitting tasks across multiple spreadsheets by sprint or workstream.
The browser editor supports basic sorting by clicking column headers. For advanced filtering, you can pre-sort the data before sending it to the API, or create multiple views by generating separate spreadsheets filtered by assignee or status.
