Work Breakdown Structure

Julie Marletto

I'm not seeing anything recent about a possible ability to create a hierarchical Work Breakdown Structure (think org chart), then convert it to a project schedule sheet (parent and child). Would love to see that as a View, in addition to Card, Gantt, Grid and Calendar. The lack of a WBS that converts to a Grid View is a loss when moving from MS Project to Smartsheet.
Does this have any hope of consideration?

Hi Julie,

you are not alone; I asked the same question and no solution on this one.

Also tried to test out uploading the excel template with the WBS charts and failed. That's just not something that Smartsheet supports. The work around is to manually create the WBS visualization outside of Smartsheet and host the link in the dashboard that the end user can click on. I have hard time to believe this is not a feature in the Smartsheet.

Basically, we need to do it manually first even we have WBS created and manually update when there are any changes.

there is a Project with Work Breakdown Schedule (WBS) | Smartsheet I think it should be there for better visualization @Genevieve P. @Tom Zylstra
