Managing your team’s time and tasks efficiently is crucial for any successful project. Recognizing this, Smartsheet has introduced its new resource management features, aiming to simplify this often complex process.

The Problem Solved

Traditionally, resource management required specialized tools and expertise. Smartsheet’s new capabilities are designed to democratize this process, making it accessible to project managers with varying levels of expertise.

How It Works

Once you’ve selected a project management template from Smartsheet’s gallery, you’ll see an integrated resource management panel. This panel gives you insights into your team members’ workloads in real-time, represented by bars next to their names. A red bar indicates overallocation, meaning too much work has been assigned in a specific time frame.

Easy Adjustments

You can easily reassign tasks or extend project end dates right from the resource management panel. These changes will automatically update your project plans, helping to avoid bottlenecks and prevent team burnout.

Availability

The best part? These resource management features will be available for free to all Smartsheet business and enterprise plan users. Early adopter programs are also being offered.

Smartsheet’s new resource management capabilities are a game-changer, making it easier than ever to align your team’s skills and bandwidth with your project’s needs, thus facilitating true business transformation.
