Managing creative resources effectively is one of the biggest challenges in project management—especially when dealing with high-effort, high-impact deliverables. The spreadsheet I developed with AI assistance became an essential tool in helping our team:

• Allocate creative hours efficiently across multiple projects
• Provide real-time visibility into resourcing constraints
• Automatically adjust workloads based on content planning decisions
• Eliminate last-minute bottlenecks and scheduling conflicts

And now, we’re making it available for you to download and customize for your own team.

This AI-assisted spreadsheet is designed with simplicity and efficiency in mind. It includes:

1. Content Calendar Tab – Allows strategists and project managers to input content plans with drop-down selections for content types.
2. Reference Sheet Tab – Lists estimated hours required for each content type and automatically calculates workload distribution.
3. Automated Formulas – Ensures that as new content is added, total design hours update in real-time, giving a clear picture of team capacity.

This tool was built to streamline resourcing without requiring additional software integrations—just a smart spreadsheet with AI-backed logic.
