Can I run all my projects using Excel Project Management templates

Question

I usually prefer Excel sheets for project documentation hence PM templates come handy for me.

I am curious if everything can be managed using only project management templates?

Answer 1

The topics that include Monitoring and Controlling and issues like Tracking, Progress Reporting, Backlogs, etc. are key candidates for Excel usage.

However, you have also more descriptive Project Management tasks as the PMP (and its subplans) where the pure usage of excel will reach its limitations.
