Project managementrequires precise planning of all upcoming tasks. However, this can quickly become confusing, especially for larger projects: You have to define the tasks, time horizons and responsibilities in advance, keep an eye on progress during the project and always be able to react flexibly to changes in plans. Normally, specialproject management toolsare required for this, but they often cost a lot of money. It’s a good thing that SeaTable’sfree project plan templateis available! You can easily create a project plan according to your wishes.

The project plan template is based on thewaterfall methodto create a classic project plan. This has the advantage that you can display tasks in chronological order in a clearproject schedule. In SeaTable, you use thetimeline pluginfor this, which displays the tasks in the form of bars on atimeline(also known as a Gantt chart). You can also use the integratedKanban boardto plan agile projects.

In the tabular overview of the project plan template, you can always keep an eye on the project sections and the associatedtasks for the entire team. If you want to createpersonal views, simply use the filter function to display only the tasks of an individual team member. Create tasks that you assign to your team members with all associatedsubtasksanddeadlines. You can also send them anotification.

To communicate with your team members, you can simplycommenton the tasks. If you mark a team member with @, he or she will also receive a notification. You can also upload, save and editdocuments and filesrelated to the task directly in a file column, which is not possible with a project plan in Excel, for example.

  • To create a project plan from the tasks, you need two columns with astartdateand anend date. The timeline plugin uses these columns to display the time extension of the tasks as bars in a project schedule.

  • You can customize thewidthanddetail ofthe timeline in the project plan template by selecting the annual, quarterly, monthly, weekly or daily view.
  • Bydisplaying additional columnsfrom the table, you can add all the information you need to this overview.

  • The Kanban plugin is ideal forvisualizing agile workflows. To do this, you should first display all thestagesthat your tasks go through in a single selection column (here: “Status”).
  • As soon as you select this column for aKanban board, all tasks in the project plan template are grouped according to their respective status (here: to do, in progress, waiting for feedback, completed).
  • Now you and your team members candrag and dropeach task card from one column to the next - and thestatusadjusts immediately! If you wish, you can enrich your cards with additional information from other table columns.
