The first comes from project management software: Smartsheet, Miro, ProjectManager.com. These are solid templates, built by people who understand budgets, timelines, and dependencies. They're just not written for events specifically. A Gantt chart built for a software sprint has no field for badge printing or catering headcount.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp> \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp style=\"line-height:1.38;margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:0pt;\" dir=\"ltr\">\u003Cspan style=\"background-color:transparent;color:#000000;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;\">The second kind comes from event blogs, and it tends to go the opposite direction: ten separate downloads, one per template type, with nothing connecting them, whether it's an Excel workbook, a Notion database, a Canva design file, or a Google Sheet.
