Your book gives great insights into getting off on the right foot in using the functionalities of Smartsheet in anything that requires planning and tracking. I didn’t find it lacking in anything. From the beginner to intermediate and advanced users of Smartsheet, there is a wealth of knowledge presented that will allow users to make the best use of Smartsheet to manage everything from projects to personal priorities.
Example Solution
The example solution in the book is as follows:
A company, “Gurus Unlimited” has an incentive program for their employees and will be using Smartsheet to keep track of the incentives earned each pay period. While the example is inspired by an actual solution I built it will be presented in a simplified manner as this will be fine for presenting the concepts in this book.
Below is a sneak peak at the process map that was created for the example solution. It might look simple, and it is relative to a lot of Smartsheet solutions, but there are a number of sheets and reports that will be used to actually build the solution. I’ll go through the steps of how to identify what is needed and how to architect the solution. I used my preferred process mapping tool, Lucidchart, to create this. I am a Lucidchart affiliate as well, so if you subscribe through my link I’ll earn a commission.
Smartsheet Architecture Solutions is a comprehensive guide that will help you unlock the full potential of Smartsheet as a work management tool for architecting effective solutions to complex business challenges.
