tions & Cautions
Cautions
1. This Excel template does not show information and progress
over time. It is only a snapshot of your current data.
2. This Excel template does not automatically evaluate objectives,
measures or initiatives as they are manual without conditional
formatting.
3. This Excel template does not support a strategy map.
4. This Excel template is only for one level in an organization, and
so it does not support alignment across organizations.
5. This Excel template was not designed to support qualitative
assessments.
6. If you let more than one person use the template, you may
create version control issues.
