What this sheet is for
Plan a project small enough to hold in your head — a refit, an event, a move, a small build — on one page, including the dependencies people forget.
Who it is for
Anyone running something with a deadline and more than a handful of moving parts: small businesses, committees, self-builders, event organisers.
How to use it
- Write down what finished looks like before you list a single task.
- Set the milestones first, then hang the tasks off them.
- Fill in the 'waiting on' column honestly — it is where projects actually stall.
- Put the actual dates in as they happen, next to the targets.
- Keep one sheet per project rather than one per person.
What is on the sheet
One page, top to bottom:
Printed under the title: One page for a small project: the tasks, who has each one, when it runs, and what it is waiting on.
Small projects, on paper. This is a planning sheet for a project a person can hold in their head — a refit, an event, a move, a small build. It prints no methodology and assumes none.

Questions
Does this follow a project management methodology?
No, and deliberately. It prints no methodology and assumes none. If you are running something large enough to need one, you need more than a sheet of paper.
