What this workbook does: it converts a new-business launch checklist into a working project timetable with an automatic Gantt chart. The Aqua Blue Edition borrows its look from an invoice design built around a strong aqua accent bar - here that becomes a dark navy heading strip, an aqua milestone band and aqua schedule bars over a crisp white grid. Functionally the sheet is divided into two halves. The left half is the data entry area: task description, START, END and a calculated DAYS figure. The right half is a rolling thirty-day calendar that derives every date from the single value in the first calendar cell, so shifting the entire plan takes one edit. Bars are produced by a conditional formatting rule rather than by manual shading, which means the chart can never drift out of step with the dates behind it. Twenty tasks are supplied across four phases - self-assessment, opportunity identification, potential risk assessment and market definition - and rows may be inserted or removed without breaking anything. The duration formula uses a plain END minus START subtraction, so durations stay transparent and auditable. Gridlines are switched off and panes are frozen, giving the sheet the clean look of a printed planning document. A landscape print area covering the title through the final task is already defined. The vocabulary is precise business English throughout, suitable for investor packs and board reviews.
