## Why you should use this template

This template makes project management simple. By centralizing all your tasks in one spot, you'll be able to monitor progress and facilitate teamwork.

## How the template works

The template combines the power of one Zapier Table and one Zap to create a seamless project management experience. The Table allows you to manage major tasks, complete with category, owner, start and end dates, and notes, giving you a comprehensive overview of your project's progress.

With the click of a button within the Table, the Zap will automatically send your team a Slack update for any task that includes all the record’s details, keeping everyone informed and on schedule. And, thanks to Zapier's integration capabilities, you can easily connect this template with other tools and apps to further enhance your project plan.

To configure the template, simply click the Zap called “Send update button clicked, send update in Slack” in the left-hand menu in the Table. From there, you can navigate to the Slack message step to authenticate your Slack account or use one of the 6,000+ other apps that integrate with Zapier.

You can configure your Slack step but then simply skip the tests for both the trigger and last action. Then hit publish on the Zap and navigate back to the Table to start using your project plan template.

This template is ideal for project managers, team leaders, and anyone seeking a simple way to manage tasks and collaborate with their team. Whether you're tackling a small project or overseeing a large team, this template will help you stay organized and ensure project planning is easy and automated.
