· Implementing Control Center for automated project creation, change management, resource planning, and project archiving at scale (up to 5,000 active projects per blueprint).

· Implementing Data Shuttle to automate data movement and syncing between Smartsheet assets and source/target systems, reducing manual data entry and enabling aligned metrics.

· Configuring real-time dashboards that provide executive and operational visibility into portfolio health, status, risk, and progress against strategic priorities (e.g., safety, quality).
