Why are status updates so hard? They don't have to be.

This template is designed with a simple principle: let's separate the table from the interaction. In spreadsheets, a status update feels like a ton of collaborators getting in each other's way around the same tabular data. In Coda, a status update feels like using a form, perfectly filtered to the thing you need to address, and focusing the interaction to the fields that matter to you.

It's powered by three tables ー

⁠

List of Statuses⁠

for the status levels specific to your team (feel free to modify / add!)

⁠

Features⁠

for the high level project, feature, thing you're tracking

⁠

Update Log⁠

with a row for each update you enter for each feature

The

Master Tables⁠

section shows the full table structure, while the

Enter Your Updates!⁠

is a simple form layout using filtered Views and a Control for the features.

Happy status-ing!
