About this software bug tracker spreadsheet template

This Software Bug Tracker template gives engineering and QA teams a structured four-sheet workbook for managing the full bug lifecycle. The Bug Register logs every defect with fields for product, component, severity, priority, reporter, assignee, status, sprint, target fix, SLA, and health. The Triage Queue helps PM and QA leads prioritize incoming bugs by owner, age, and next action. The Bug Dashboard provides an at-a-glance engineering quality summary with counts for open, in-progress, blocked, fixed, and verified issues.

The Lists & Guide sheet serves as a reference for severity levels (S1–S4), priority tiers (P0–P3), SLA timelines by priority, workflow status transitions, and the complete bug lifecycle from triage through fix, verify, and close. Every cell, column, and label is fully editable in WPS Office, Microsoft Excel, or Google Sheets, so teams can adapt the tracker to their own sprint cadence and tooling.
