Case Study: DIRECTV simplifies enterprise project management with Smartsheet

DIRECTV tracks nearly 200 projects with Smartsheet

DIRECTV, a major pay TV service, faced challenges in managing its portfolio of nearly 200 strategic transformation projects, which were previously tracked across disparate spreadsheets and tools. This made it difficult to gain a centralized view, track KPIs and financial data effectively, and report efficiently to executives. To address this, DIRECTV turned to Smartsheet's Intelligent Work Management Platform.

By implementing Smartsheet, DIRECTV centralized project management, using the platform to track projects end-to-end from inception to implementation. The solution enabled automated workflows, dashboards for at-a-glance status updates, and the use of Data Shuttle for data integration. The result was a unified view of the entire project portfolio, significantly faster access to financial insights, and the ability to quickly generate ad-hoc reports for leadership, ultimately helping DIRECTV keep strategic initiatives aligned and on track to support its business priorities.
