Hello!
I'm Justin, and I’ll be your instructor of record for this course. My team at Projects Right, led by me, has also prepared some tutorials for you in the course.
Together, we’ll unlock the power of Excel to help you create an efficient, user-friendly project management tracker from scratch.
We’ll tackle the common challenges faced when organizing and tracking projects, like juggling deadlines, monitoring progress, and managing resources. Each concept will be broken down step by step, with clear explanations and hands-on examples to ensure you can apply these skills confidently.
In this course, you’ll explore:
Data Entry and Organization: Learn how to structure your project data for maximum clarity and ease of use.
Task Dependencies: Set up links between tasks to manage timelines effectively.
Resource Allocation: Track resources and ensure projects stay on schedule.
Progress Tracking: Create visual dashboards to monitor and showcase progress.
Automation Basics: Simplify your workflow with Excel’s built-in tools.
By the end of this course, you’ll have a professional project management tracker customized to your needs, equipping you to organize and manage projects with ease, even if you’re new to Excel or project management.
Also included are two copies of the completed tracker I created, so even if you don’t want to build one yourself, you’ll still have a ready-to-use tracker at your fingertips.

it was a good tutorial that was a good start for me to create my own tracker. Some of the lessons didn't include the required details. At one point the lesson was edited because a mistake was made but didn't show how the mistake was fixed, so I had to do my own research to understand how to fix the mistake the tutor made. It didn't show how to make sure the conditional formatting would be prioritised over other conditional formatting.
