What Is Smartsheet Project Management?
Smartsheet is a cloud-based platform designed to make project management easier and help teams work together in real time. It integrates with other digital tools, making businesses more efficient and giving them a clear view of projects.
But Smartsheet isn’t for project management. Its platform can be used for all kinds of business functions, from human resources and sales to manufacturing and IT operations.
How to Use Smartsheet for Project Management
Learning how to use Smartsheet for project management is like learning a new language. It might seem a tad intimidating at first, but once you grasp the basics, it becomes second nature. Here’s a step-by-step guide to get you started:
- Start a new project: Begin by creating a new sheet or using a pre-designed template from Smarthsheet’s extensive library.
- Define your tasks: List all the tasks involved in your project, including descriptions, assignees, and due dates.
- Create a timeline: Use Smartsheet’s Gantt chart feature to visualize your project timeline and dependencies.
- Collaborate with your team: Share your project sheet with your team members so they can view, edit, and comment on tasks.
- Track project progress: Use real-time dashboards and reports to monitor your project’s progress and make data-driven decisions.
