Story
Inside CoStar Group, program management used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in real estate groups working out of the United States. Project and operations leads needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
CoStar Group uses Control Center from Smartsheet as the working layer for cross-team delivery. Smartsheet is a work management platform that uses familiar sheet views to run projects, processes, and portfolios. The practical change is simple: program management has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What CoStar Group gets from Smartsheet is a durable place to run program management and a way for project and operations leads to see the same cross-team delivery at the same time.
