Smartsheet - What is it good for?
It’s unclear to me how Smartsheet is an improvement over.... Basecamp, for example... or sharing project documentation and workflow across different projects, vendors, etc.
What an ugly tool. Once you navigate past the pretty dashboard, you’re done. And emails from the site? Dreadful. Almost illegible. The worst? RAIDQ items. On one project, I received countless emails from the site with the subject line being “RAIDQ x” with nothing else to help me triage without opening the email. (Which is another of my pet peeves: Emails with subject lines that aren’t relevant to the content or helpful in what the email is regarding. Why aren’t schools teaching communications to everyone??)
I take exception to this bit of Microsoft’s latest hype, which reminds me of when their marketing department (which does more work for Microsoft than their developers do) was busily promoting SharePoint as an internet-available application platform. Yep. #EpicFail
