Things to consider
A Smartsheet Advance package or Smartsheet Advanced Work Management is required for the higher tiers of active projects per blueprint. The maximum number of Control Center active projects per blueprint are:
Package | Active projects per blueprint |
---|---|
Control Center Add-on | Up to 5,000 active projects** |
Advance Silver | Up to 10,000 active projects |
Advance Gold & Platinum Advanced Work Management | Up to 20,000 active projects |
Active Projects = Control Center provisioned projects - archived projects - deleted projects
** The up to 5,000 active projects per blueprint limit also applies to the Smartsheet Control Center add-on packages first sold prior to April 1, 2024 as that was the product limitation then.
