tasks that's where project management software helps but are there any compatible with Google workspace the answer is a definite yes hey what's up project managers I'm Meredith and today I'm listing project management softwares that pair well with Google workspace but before we jump into that let's talk about what exactly is Google workspace formerly known as G Suite workspace is a collection of business apps and collaboration tools on the Google platform such as Gmail docs sheets and drive users get access to all of that along with seamless connectivity using their Google account plus the

that Google workspace is a tool that one can expect to see when applying to a company however Google does not have its own full-blown project management tool for teams luckily for project managers workspace integrates with many PM tools to solve this problem here are five smartsheet is a modern project and Work Management platform that enables teams and companies to manage projects automate processes and maximize portfolios using a single platform the fully customizable solution helps users capture data track plans build schedules and allocate resources this tool also seamlessly integrates with many Google workspace apps for example users can send notifications and requests from smartsheet to Google Chat the Gmail add-on lets users quickly copy email text and attachments and add this information to rows without having to ever leave Gmail smartsheet also works with Drive calendars docs and forms overall users have said that it's easy to use and deploy and they like having
