Editable Timelines and Task Durations
Start dates and task durations are fully editable without breaking formulas. Change a launch date and dependent tasks shift accordingly. This keeps plans flexible for seasonal drops or surprise delays.

Zero Excel Expertise Required

Printable and Shareable
Export to PDF or copy to Google Sheets for easy sharing. Print-ready views work for meetings, retail pitches, and craft-fair prep. The file doubles as a client or buyer leave-behind.
