Challenge
Schedules lived in Smartsheet but stakeholders needed MS Project
Manual rebuilds dropped hierarchy, predecessors, and durations. Spreadsheet exports were not trustworthy for native Microsoft Project files.
Custom Software Case Study
Plans that travel cleanly from Smartsheet to Microsoft Project
We built a Windows desktop exporter that reads Smartsheet plans and writes schema-valid Microsoft Project XML—so teams keep planning where they work and open native .mpp workflows without retyping schedules.

The Project
Challenge
Manual rebuilds dropped hierarchy, predecessors, and durations. Spreadsheet exports were not trustworthy for native Microsoft Project files.
What We Built
The app authenticates to Smartsheet, maps columns automatically or manually, preserves outline levels and predecessor links, and writes Microsoft Project–compatible XML with tokens stored in Windows Credential Manager.
Result
PMs export once and open a structured project file—no Python installs for end users, no copy-paste schedule archaeology.
