Smartsheet is an online work execution platform helping organizations plan, manage, track and automate projects in real time. With a familiar spreadsheet-like interface, the platform is easy to use, even for beginners. The ability to initially use a tool cuts down on the arduous process of training employees on a new software system.

Smartsheet is full of project management tools such as time tracking, file sharing, project reporting and task management that help teams maximize productivity. The ability to view work alongside conversations, decisions and rationale all in one place reduces lag time caused by slow communication. It also has automated workflow options to fit an individual’s work preferences. Different dashboards such as card, grid, Gantt chart or calendar view are used to organize data. Smartsheet easily integrates with applications for business intelligence and payroll, making it a great choice for the finance, accounting and business industries.

Also note that Smartsheet offers Smartsheet for Jira Connector, which enables you to track your software development projects that are tracked in Jira. What this does is establish a connection between the two solutions, giving those who need to harness the power of both Smartsheet and Jira the ability to do so. It comes with Smartsheet’s Enterprise Plan as part of its Smartsheet Advance Package (must contact Smartsheet for pricing).
