Very intuitive and powerful tool for every project manager

What are the best aspects of this product?

I use SmartSheet to manage a development project for my clients, I’m allowed to add development tasks, milestones and projected timelines, and then I can share read-only version with my clients. There are many ways to review the shared version: sreadsheet view, gant chart chart view and calendar view. Smartsheet facilitates include images and attached files. All stakeholeders, users and developers are allowed to participate in the virtual discussions. This app provides you with color formatting option, so you can see items that are behind the schedule or at risk. Also, the export feature allows to export project plan or data from SmartSheet to Excel. The good thing is that creators are able to invite unlimited number of collaborators.

What aspects are problematic or could work better?

It would be great if there was a more intuitive method to set the hierarchical tasks and setting time between tasks. And, more intuitive way to increase hours to parent rows. If you are not careful when you add entries it can be very frustrated.

What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?

Thanks to SmartSheet I am allowed to present ‘live’ project plan to my clients. The plan is updated daily and they can login and view the read-only version of the plan.
