Should I have a PM Lite Smartsheet? A One Pager?

Jim Jeffcoat

This time last week, my CIO asked me to look into Smartsheet. One week later I have a beta version of a project template containing 6 sheets, 3 reports, and one dashboard. I was surprised how easy it was to develop a pretty solid solution in such short amount of time. The beta version of my project template should work for a number of our hospital projects, but I wonder if this is overkill for those smaller projects that don't require the full blown PM package. Has anyone built just a one sheet project plan. I'm thinking just a modified project charter on top and the project plan below? Any thoughts?

 

Thanks

Jim,

 

This tool like others can be tailored to your needs.

If one sheet will get you what you need, then ignore the stuff that does not help.

The goal is to minimize and track work, not make more of it.
