Join us for a thought-provoking and practical series where we unpack the complexities, challenges, and hidden power of the **Parent-Child relationship in Smartsheet**. Presented as a dynamic “debate at the dinner table,” this session brings to life the tug-of-war between structure and flexibility, hierarchy and agility, and tips for avoiding circular references—those infinite logic loops that can derail your entire dinner conversation (and your sheet). 

**What It’s About:** 

Just like family dynamics around a dinner table, the Smartsheet Parent-Child relationship can get… spirited. This series is designed to help teams and collaborators: 

*   Understand how hierarchy functions in Smartsheet rows 
*   Balance reporting needs with ease of use 
*   Clarify when to nest rows, when not to, and what happens when you do 
*   Explore formula behaviors across parents and children 
*   Learn how to create column formulas that accommodate both parents and children! 

**Let’s Not Forget the Extended Family – Ancestors & Descendants:** 

It’s not just about parents and children, sometimes, it takes a whole lineage to get the picture right. We’ll cover: 

*   **When to use ANCESTORS() vs PARENT()**: for deep hierarchy tracking or simpler summaries 
*   **How DESCENDANTS() can be a game-changer**: summarizing tasks, counting nested items, and filtering scope 
*   Common pitfalls (like double-counting or broken references) and how to avoid them 

**What We’ll Cover:** 

*   What is a Parent-Child relationship in Smartsheet?  
*   Why it matters, and how to avoid common pitfalls. 
*   Control, dependency, and row hierarchy in complex sheets. 
*   Best practices for organizing related data without over-nesting. 
*   How roll-up formulas, conditional formatting, and automations behave in nested rows. 
*   A live build-and-discuss workshop: we’ll take a chaotic sheet and turn it into a collaborative asset.

Project cost control doesn’t start with tracking; it starts with smart architecture. In this master class, we’ll guide you through how to **design or enhance your project management template in Smartsheet** to include automated, visual cost controls. 

This session is for teams who are ready to move beyond reactive budget tracking and into proactive cost governance, without overcomplicating their Smartsheet setup. 

You'll learn: 

*   **Key questions to ask stakeholders** to ensure your architecture supports the way your team actually budgets, spends, and reports 
*   **\*\* Foundational assets you need\*\*** to integrate cost controls into your PM template (think: sheets, baselines, rollups, and automations) 
*   **How to structure your sheets and reports** so that cost visibility is built into the workflow, not bolted on after 
*   **Best practices for automation, formulas, and dashboards** that surface the right cost data to the right people at the right time 

Whether you’re building from scratch or refining an existing solution, you’ll leave with a framework for embedding cost consciousness directly into your project delivery system—scalable, repeatable, and human-friendly.
