Free project management: plan and track tasks in Notion or Excel
Breaking a project into tasks, reading a simple plan and running a progress check: the free project management guide.
Break the project into tasks
Each task has an owner, a due date and a status. A task that is too vague cannot be tracked: rewrite it as a concrete action.
Read a simple plan
A light Gantt chart shows dependencies between tasks. Spot the critical path: the tasks whose delay would push back the whole project.
Hold a progress check
A weekly check on progress, risks and decisions to make is enough for most projects. Keep it short and regular.
