Smartsheet

Smartsheet is a cloud-based work management and project portfolio platform that combines the familiarity of a spreadsheet with project management, automation, and reporting capabilities. Work is organized into sheets made up of rows and columns, which can be structured to represent tasks, issues, requests, or other work items. Teams can add hierarchies, attachments, comments, proofs, and forms, and then switch the same data between views such as grid, Gantt, card/board, calendar, table, and timeline depending on their needs.

Core project management features include task dependencies, critical path, baselines, and rich formulas, along with dashboards and reports that roll up metrics across multiple sheets. Built-in automation handles alerts, reminders, approvals, assignments, and row updates using no-code workflow rules, while add-ons like Control Center, Dynamic View, and Data Shuttle extend the platform for large-scale portfolio governance and secure request management. Resource Management by Smartsheet adds specialized capacity planning, scheduling, and time and expense tracking for teams that need deeper resourcing capabilities.

Smartsheet is sold on Pro, Business, Enterprise, and Advanced Work Management plans with a 30-day free trial but no ongoing free tier. All paid plans include core views, dashboards, reports, forms, integrations, and mobile apps, while higher tiers add timeline and workload views, enterprise security controls, and premium capabilities. Smartsheet AI and the newer intelligent work management features provide AI-assisted formula generation, data analysis and chart creation, text and summary generation, AI-powered columns, and emerging capabilities such as Smart Assist, Smart Flows, and Smart Agents that help create projects from outlines, monitor risks, and suggest improvements to project plans and automations.
