What is the purpose of the Fields tab in the Project Plan spreadsheet?

The Project Plan spreadsheet helps in defining the priority of a project by allowing you to define the priority and stages under the Kanban tab. It also allows you to list team members and their levels of interest and influence under the Charter tab. Furthermore, you can define the levels of likelihood and severity your organization uses under the Risk tab, which also appear in the risk matrix. Lastly, under the Triage tab, you can include the levels of urgency and importance, as well as impact and effort used in the triage matrixes.

Defining the levels of urgency in the Triage tab is important as it helps in prioritizing tasks or issues based on their urgency. This allows for efficient allocation of resources and ensures that critical issues are addressed promptly. It also aids in decision-making processes by providing a clear understanding of what needs immediate attention.

The Project Plan spreadsheet assists in defining the stages of a project by allowing you to organize essential fields under different tabs. For instance, under the Kanban tab, you can define the priority and stages that your project will reference. This helps in structuring the project and keeping track of its progress through different stages.
