I really like the internal spreadsheet HeavyBid offers. It is a third party software called Spreadsheet Gear and for most users it is very Excel like in features and usability.  I am going to start a blog series on using this spreadsheet and how it will give you the following benefits

  • Increased accuracy (eliminate using a calculator which has issues with input error)
  • Increased speed – use the Assemblies option to import in activities with cells linked to the spreadsheet
  • Adds uniformity to all estimates. This is good for estimating teams so that everyone is using the same calculations.

If you are not using this feature or are using it but want to investigate how to take advantage of all its features, this blog series will be beneficial to you.
