Project Reporting With Excel or Google Sheets
Helping Project Teams
Collect updates on tasks, progress or ETAs from teams or colleagues. Manage access, track and review changes, collaborate and communicate on top of your Excel files or Google Sheets.
The Challenge of Reporting on Project Progress Using Spreadsheets
To report on the progress of a project to sponsoring stakeholders, you need to collect data from different teams. With Layer, you can share reports using the same spreadsheet to collect the data. There is no need to create individual carve-outs for other recipients nor copy-paste between input and output files.
Without layer
Chasing stakeholders for updates on their progress is dull and time-consuming.
Constantly tracking individual project streams requires chasing people for updates with many back-and-forth emails or giving them access to sheets with sensitive data.
With layer
No more chasing for updates. Your project gets updated effortlessly.
Just set and forget. You can simply set a recurring request for feedback.
Layer automatically send reminders and keep track of who's late on submitting theirs.
Without layer
Creating reports on a one by one case every time they are requested.
Different stakeholders may have various reporting needs, so you have to manually create and share multiple reports on a recurring basis.
With layer
Updating reports is not a manual task anymore.
Set viewing and editing rights to different people for different parts of your project tracker and define when and how often people receive an update.
