01 / SETUP

Get ready

  1. Open a new Google Sheet on a computer and check that Gemini in Sheets is available for your account.
  2. List the project phases, owners, and status terms you actually use.
02 / PROMPT

Give it this

Create a simple project tracker for [project] with columns for task, owner, due date, status, blocker, and next action. Add these known tasks: [paste tasks]. Leave unknown owners and dates blank. Suggest a small set of consistent status values and one useful way to highlight overdue open tasks. Keep the sheet easy for a team to update weekly; do not invent milestones or commitments.

03 / WORKFLOW

Make it useful

  1. Review the proposed table and insert it into the sheet only after checking the column labels.
  2. Check every owner, due date, and formula against the source plan.
  3. Test one completed and one overdue task, then share the tracker with the team.

One thing to check. Gemini in Sheets requires an eligible plan and may suggest incorrect data or formulas. Verify dates and formulas before relying on the tracker.
