Critical Path Tracker Template
Premium
A powerful, easy-to-use Critical Path Tracker Excel template that helps project managers and PMOs identify schedule drivers, monitor task dependencies, and prevent delays—by focusing attention on what truly impacts the project end date.
About Template
Most project delays don’t happen everywhere.
They happen on the critical path.
The PMO Champion Critical Path Tracker Template gives you clear visibility into critical vs non-critical activities, so teams know where delays matter and where flexibility exists.
Instead of guessing which tasks are risky, this template helps you objectively identify schedule-sensitive activities, understand float, and proactively manage timelines—using a familiar, Excel-based approach.
Designed for PMO governance, complex schedules, and delivery-focused teams, this full-version tracker turns schedules into decision-ready insights.
