How can you ensure that tasks are completed on time in Smartsheet?

Setting up due dates and reminders is a proactive approach to ensure that tasks are completed on time in Smartsheet. By assigning clear due dates, team members understand the timeline for task completion and can prioritize their work accordingly. Additionally, reminders serve as alerts that help individuals stay on track and avoid missing these deadlines. Reminders can be set up to notify team members ahead of the due date, creating an opportunity to manage their time effectively and address any potential delays before they escalate.

While outsourcing tasks may sometimes facilitate completion, it doesn't directly influence timely management within the project management framework of Smartsheet. Avoiding reminders can lead to oversights and delays, as team members might forget about deadlines without timely prompts. Lastly, only assigning tasks in meetings is not an effective strategy for ensuring completion; it lacks the dynamic support tools that modern project management tools like Smartsheet provide, such as due dates and automated reminders.
