What This Template Offers

A ready-to-use donut chart that breaks down your project tasks by status — giving stakeholders an immediate snapshot of where things stand.

Use cases

Perfect Use Cases

Sprint or Milestone Reviews

Drop this chart into your sprint retrospective deck to show the team exactly how many tasks crossed the finish line versus those still moving through the pipeline.

Stakeholder Status Reports

Replace walls of text in weekly updates with a single donut chart that communicates project health in seconds — no reading required.

Project Dashboard Widgets

Embed the chart in an internal dashboard or client portal so anyone can check completion status without scheduling a meeting.

Risk and Blocker Visibility

Highlight the 'Blocked' segment in red to draw immediate attention to issues that need escalation before they derail the timeline.

Customize

How to Customize

Update Your Task Counts

Replace the sample values (Completed: 42, In Progress: 28, etc.) with your actual task numbers. The chart recalculates percentages automatically.

Adjust Colors and Labels

Match segment colors to your brand palette or team conventions. Toggle label mode between name, value, or percent to suit your audience.

Add or Remove Status Stages

Use the 'Add slice' button to introduce new stages (e.g. 'On Hold') or remove irrelevant ones — the donut rebalances instantly.

Key Benefits

  • Communicates project completion status faster than any table or written summary
  • The hollow center is perfect for a headline metric — total tasks, completion percentage, or a due date
  • Color semantics (green = done, red = blocked) are universally understood, reducing the need for explanation
  • Works equally well in slide decks, PDFs, dashboards, and social posts

Pro Tips

  • Keep your 'Completed' segment at the 12 o'clock starting position so progress reads left-to-right naturally.
  • If your 'Blocked' slice is growing week over week, duplicate the chart across sprints to create a trend story for leadership.
  • Use the center text field to display the project name or a key deadline instead of the task count — great for client-facing reports.
