Columns (grey = calculated for you)

  • Due
  • Task
  • Phase
  • Channel
  • Owner
  • Status
  1. Open the Launch plan tab and replace the sample rows with your own — one row per entry. Formulas fill in automatically for new rows.
  2. Work back from cart open; Due turns red for anything late and not done.
  3. Keep the debrief task: conversion by channel is what makes the next launch better.
  4. Using Google Sheets? Upload the file to Google Drive, then open it with Google Sheets (or File → Import in an open sheet). Formulas, dropdowns and highlights carry over.

The file opens locally on your device — nothing is uploaded, and you own the copy outright.
