vsActual

vsActual is a strategic planning and execution platform from Smartsheet designed to connect corporate strategy to operational work execution. The standalone application aggregates data across enterprise work management, financial, and HR systems—including Smartsheet, Jira, ServiceNow, Oracle, SAP, and Workday—to track execution against strategic plans, model decision scenarios, and flag variance in budgets, timelines, and resource allocation.

Key Capabilities

• Strategic Plan Ingestion & Alignment: Converts strategic plans from documents, spreadsheets, and presentations into structured plans with defined goals, timelines, and budget/capacity guardrails, scoring new work requests against active strategic priorities.
• Cross-System Execution Tracking: Aggregates live operational data across disconnected enterprise systems without requiring teams to migrate out of primary tools like Jira, Workday, or Smartsheet.
• Variance Tracking & Predictive Risk Detection: Employs AI agents to monitor progress against baseline plans, automatically surfacing budget overruns, schedule delays, and resource conflicts as they occur and recommending corrective actions.
• Predictive Scenario Modeling: Tests decision scenarios against live capacity and financial data to project operational impacts prior to executive commitment.
• Automated Executive Summaries: Background AI agents aggregate, reconcile, and author progress reports and executive status summaries without manual reporting workflows.
• Execution Graph Architecture: Maps relational dependencies across corporate tasks, projects, programs, and strategic goals using historical workflow intelligence.

Audience & Use Cases

• Audience: Chief Executive Officers (CEOs), Chief Financial Officers (CFOs), Chief Operating Officers (COOs), Strategic Planning Leaders, and Program Management Officers (PMOs).
• Use Case: Enterprise-wide portfolio execution tracking, strategic budget and capacity variance monitoring, cross-tool project alignment, and automated executive reporting.

Technical Specifications

• Deployment Architecture: Standalone AI-native cloud application operating independently or alongside core Smartsheet environments.
• Cross-System Integrations: Smartsheet, Jira, ServiceNow, Oracle, SAP, Workday, Slack.
• Data & Intelligence Layer: Execution Graph mapping cross-functional dependencies, permissions, and governance guardrails.

vsActual is in early access, with a group of enterprise design partners using it on their real planning cycles. General availability is planned for early 2027.
