Universal Weekly Scorecard Template
A blank weekly scorecard for any industry: 5 to 15 metrics, one owner per metric, a target column, and thirteen weeks of tracking so a quarter fits on one page. Free, no email required.
Download the template
Free and ungated. Opens in Word, Google Docs or Pages. No macros, no signup, no email wall.
What this template includes
A metric grid with owners
One row per metric with a named owner, because a number nobody owns is a number nobody updates.
Target and actual side by side
Each week records the actual against the target, so the gap is visible without arithmetic.
Thirteen weeks per sheet
A full quarter on one page, which is what makes a trend visible rather than a single bad week.
Red / yellow / green status
A simple three-state indicator, with the rule that three consecutive off-target weeks becomes an open issue.
How to use it
- 1Pick 5 to 15 metrics that genuinely reflect the health of the business. Fewer than five hides problems; more than fifteen stops getting read.
- 2Give every metric one named owner. Shared ownership reliably produces no ownership.
- 3Set a target for each metric before the quarter starts, not after the first number comes in.
- 4Review it in the same meeting every week, at the same point in the agenda, in under five minutes.
- 5Track the trend, not the week. Three weeks off target is a signal; one week is noise.
