You can use Smartsheet to plan, track, and manage projects across multiple teams. It combines the familiar look of a spreadsheet with enterprise project management features like Gantt charts, Kanban boards, and customizable dashboards. You can set up automated workflows for repetitive tasks like approvals and status updates, balance workloads across team members, and monitor deadlines in real time. It also connects with your existing workplace apps so your department can track deliverables, manage client accounts, and keep operational data organized without manual status reports.
