I love using Smartsheet
- We haven't been using it too long yet on this project, but so far it's a great place to integrate and organize a lot of different pieces, and share only what's important to each group.
- In a previous project I worked on, it was great for use with 3rd parties.

Collaborative Project Management Tool

September 20, 2019
Fantastic tool, but it's important to understand what it's meant for
- It has helped us manage our time better. We are able to track exactly how much time our team spends completing tasks for other departments. We also track how much time we spend on last-minute, emergency projects. This has significantly helped us improve our communication and lower the amount of "fire drills."
- It helps us manage our ad budget.
- We have used it to create a master index of all of our website content, categorized in about 5 different ways (content type, industry relevance, product module, pain points, etc.). Our sales teams have access to this sheet and use it to quickly find the website resource that is perfect for their prospects' situation. They no longer come to the marketing team asking us for a case study that touches on a given topic.
