Project Portfolio Management

When you're running multiple projects at once, the problem isn't delivery. It's consistency.

Each project manager has their own way of structuring a sheet, naming columns, and tracking progress. Some update weekly, some don't. When leadership asks for a portfolio view, someone has to pull data from a dozen different sheets, reconcile the formats, and produce a report that's already out of date by the time it lands.

This is the problem Smartsheet Control Center was built to solve, and it's where I spend a significant part of my work.

I implement Control Center so that every project in your portfolio is created from the same template, tracked in the same structure, and automatically rolled up into a single portfolio dashboard. Project managers get a familiar, ready-to-use workspace the moment a project is opened. Leadership gets a live view without anyone compiling a report.

What this looks like in practice

• A standardised project template rolled out automatically when a new project is created
• A portfolio dashboard showing status, budget, milestones and RAG ratings across all active projects
• Governance structures that enforce consistency without slowing project managers down
• Intake workflows that trigger project creation from a form or a CRM handover

What you get

Consistent delivery. Real-time visibility. And a portfolio view your leadership team can trust, because it's built from live data, not last week's spreadsheet.
