One live sheet. Not twelve versions of the plan.
PeekGraph designs the tracker, Control Center rollups, and the automation around them — so status is current when the meeting starts, and nobody is pasting from email.
Smartsheet sheet design, project trackers, Control Center, reports, automation, and WorkApps. Scope is named on the call — nothing is billed from this page.
Columns, hierarchy, and views that match how work actually moves.
A sheet that started as a tracker and became a dump nobody trusts.
A clean grid, named columns, and a hierarchy that still reports when rows nest.
Gantt, card, and grid on the same work — status, owner, date, dependency.
A plan in slides, a list in email, and a sheet that is two weeks behind.
One tracker leadership can open without a walkthrough.
Many projects, one blueprint, one portfolio view.
Copying a “template” by hand. Every new job looks different by week three.
A provisioned structure and rollups that still add when a new project starts.
The meeting view: what is late, who owns it, what moved this week.
Exporting the sheet to build a slide that is already stale.
Reports and a dashboard that read the live sheet, not a screenshot.
The sheet tells people. You do not chase them.
A reminder in someone’s head, or a weekly email that nobody reads.
Alerts, update requests, and approval paths that fire on the row, not on memory.
People submit work without touching the grid.
A form that dumps into a mess, or a sheet everyone is afraid to edit.
Intake that lands in the right row, with a simple surface for people who should not see fifty columns.
Work already lives in Smartsheet, and the grid still needs a walkthrough.
The same structure on every job, not a new invention each quarter.
Status without opening twelve sheets.
Status lives in five sheets → one tracker with owner, date, and red/amber/green. Demonstration data, not a client file.
Only if Excel is still the system. If Smartsheet already exists, the work starts there and fixes the layer that is lying.
Not always. The call is where a single tracker is enough, or a blueprint is needed.
A written range comes after the call. Nothing is billed from this page.
Yes. Most work starts with the sheet already in the meeting.
No. The sample on this page is a demonstration.
Yes. The files stay with you at handoff.
Smartsheet is the plan, not the metric. These two notes say when the sheet is the right home, and when it is not.
