By the end of this project, you will create a Google Sheet that receives customer requests, tracks employee workload, and provides a small business with an overview of current project status and historical data for completed projects. You will learn how to create a custom form and use the data from the form to track requests, assign work to employees, and create a snapshot of current and past projects. Throughout the project you will leverage formulas to automate the Google Sheet in order to effectively and efficiently manage day to day operations.
