Link Resource Management "Phase" of a project to data in Smartsheet

Rob.Bradford

It would be useful if a project's "phase" could come from a cell in Smartsheet so the phase of a project doesn't need to be updated in two different places.

Example: A project moves from Planning to Execution. As a PMO Manager, I would like to be able to update that in the Smartsheet Portfolio Rollup Sheet for that project, then have the phase change proliferate over to the Resource Management side.

Yes, please. This would be really useful and help with the issue of Smartsheet tracking at activity level and Resource Management tracking at project level.

See this discussion.

I agree. This is a serious limitation as for us it's important to track time associated with the different project phases and not only at project level. There should be a way to send the phase from SS to RM.
