In today’s hybrid and fast-moving workplace, smooth collaboration isn’t a luxury — it’s a necessity. Managing dozens of requests across teams through emails or chat messages often leads to confusion, delays, and missed deadlines. That’s why we built the Team Collaboration Request Tracker in Excel (with VBA automation) — a powerful, ready-to-use solution that centralizes all collaboration requests in one smart Excel workbook.
This tracker functions as a mini project-management system inside Excel — complete with login control, automated forms, dashboards, and charts. It gives managers full visibility over team requests, workload, and priorities — without requiring any extra software or online subscription. ⚙️📊
Whether your organization operates remotely or on-site, this tracker ensures every collaboration request — meeting, document review, or task assignment — is logged, tracked, and completed efficiently.
