Action & Decision Tracker

Most businesses do not have a problem identifying actions. They have a problem tracking them to completion.

 And separately, they almost never capture the decisions that generated those actions in the first place — which means the same conversations get repeated, context gets lost and the reasoning behind key choices disappears the moment the meeting ends.

 This tracker holds both.

 WHAT IS INCLUDED

 One Excel workbook with three tabs.

 The Action Tracker holds everything that needs doing. Each action has an area, a description, an owner, a date raised, a due date, a completion date, a priority (Critical, High, Medium or Low), a status and a notes field for blockers or context. Priority and status are colour-coded automatically — blocked and overdue items stand out without any manual formatting.

 Pre-loaded with 10 realistic examples covering the kinds of actions a founder in early build stage genuinely deals with.

 The Decision Log captures what was decided, why, who made the call, what actions it generated and when it should be revisited. Six pre-loaded examples show the format. Status options include Standing, Under Review, Superseded and Reversed so the log stays honest as your business evolves.

 The Start Here tab explains how to use both tabs together and why maintaining a decision log prevents the same ground being revisited repeatedly.
