Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
Comments

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

Travis:
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!
