Excel Source: Creating A Project Planner
This Excel template works with the logic of a classic Gantt chart. However, it offers a much more detailed analysis opportunity. It doesn't just list tasks; It allows you to compare "Planned Start" and "Actual Start" dates for each event. This way, you can instantly see at which stage of your project you deviated from the plan.
Hope it is useful.
