I am a new user to Smartsheet. Still testing it out for the 30-Day Trial.
I really like Smartsheet, but am a bit concerned about becoming too involved with it because it does lack some functionality I was hoping for. That said, only a few of the upper end (expensive) project management programs seem to do what I want.
There are three things that seem to be missing:
1.) Ability to set a baseline, track actual performance stats against the baseline, and do a variance analysis of progress between actual vs projected goals.
2.) A clock for scheduling. Right now, Smartsheet will look at days, hours and mins, but it doesnt seem to let one schedule start and stop times for particular within a particular day. This is actually a pretty basic feature in day planners and calendars, so maybe I am missing something...
3.) What I'll call a "Project Journal", which would basically be a document organizer, or document management system, possibly with version control. Smartsheet already has the ability to upload and manage documents, which is functionality I am still learning, but it seems pretty basic for what I have seen so far.
All that said, Smartsheet is really a sweet system, and I wonder if there are plans to add in any of this type of functionality?
Thank you!
