Are there any plans to add the ability to display a graphical (hierarchical boxes) WBS?
Stephen
Hi Stephen, we are looking into adding a WBS into future versions of Smartsheet but but the full scope has not been defined at this time so I am unable to give any specific details on how that may look/work. I will pass your feedback along to our product team!
Ok, great, thanks for the update.
I think that's a fundamental feature in a project management suite.
We're using now Smartsheet and, if this feature isn't implemented soon, we will reevaluate our decision to use this suite.
Good point Stephen to suggest this!
Travis, can you share any status updates for adding a graphical / boxes WBS & Network Diagram?
Stephen, I dont have any updates on those at the moment. I would check out our product roadmap to stay up to date on features we are currentluy working on: https://www.smartsheet.com/product-roadmap

Ok, thanks. I had forgotten about the roadmap.
That was helpful.
Would definitely like to see the addition of a WBS for project management. Agree completely with comments from Carlos.
Yes, a WBS feature would be fabulous. Makes good sense for PM software. Would love to see this added. Please add my vote Travis.
Please add my vote too. A PBS/WBS (and OBS) are all important and not having these is one of my main concerns when using Smartsheet. I have moved the company over to Smartsheet because Microsoft Project is a bit overboard for many of our projects, but without PBS/WBS/OBS (and therefore a RAM), Smartsheet is rather limiting in terms of schedule development.
David and Ben, I have submitted your votes!
+1 for another vote!
Currently, I am using MS Visio to create the WBS file, then uploading it as a JPEG image file into my Project Plan. Unfortunately its challenging to keep up-to-date as its not dynamic to any other of the tools.
These graphical heirachical boxes, including the Risk Breakdown Structure (RBS), seems a bit outside of the Smartsheet model. If SmartSheet could partner with a 3rd party Mindmap software we'd be golden.
Finding a way to link with Xmind would be brilliant - it is by far the best breakdown structure software I have found, so Aaron is right that it would be somewhat reinventing the wheel for Smartsheet to build it.
Add my vote for this feature.
Thanks everyone - your vote are added!
