Smartsheet: the best for complex projects

After many, many months of testing various project management platforms, I can confidently say that Smartsheet is one of the most functional solutions available on the market today. Can you call its interface user-friendly? Let’s say that you have to get used to it first. Once you get used to it, everything will become incredibly convenient and easy.

If you work with large amounts of data, Smartsheet will offer you tools to put everything in order. You’ll be able to create reports with data from any document, add timestamps to video files, automatically copy answers from forms to spreadsheets, and so on.

The gray buttons and sharp corners of the app bring thoughts of the designer’s ambiguous taste, but you can get used to it too. The built-in time tracker and chat could, by the way, be more sympathetic. However, the fact remains that Smartsheet is a force to be reckoned with in project management.

Smartsheet helps teams create spreadsheets, tools for project management, task management, document and file management. The service is available as a browser-based version and as a mobile app. Smartsheet is suitable for marketers, advertising and sales departments, developers and teams working together.

In Smartsheet, you can create tables for project management from scratch or use ready-made templates. Table cells can contain text information, numbers and figures, links, files, statuses, reminders and other elements. Information in tables can be sorted by cards, lists, Gantt chart, calendar. Tables can be filled with information using forms. Created documents are stored in the dashboard, from where you can view their status, manage resources, assign tasks to increase work efficiency. Tables can be integrated with Workspace or Microsoft 365 tools, DocuSign, Zapier, and other cloud services to increase functionality.

Teams can share tables using links. Tables can be collaboratively edited, augmented, and communicated using comments in them. Teams can collaboratively create and share reports on data from multiple tables.
