Managed Project Controls | Smartsheet BESS PMO

Your Developers Hate Smartsheet. We Don’t

We embed PMP-certified controllers to manage your schedules and data rooms. Your executives get accurate dashboards; your developers get their time back.

THE END OF ZOMBIE SCHEDULES

Your project plan should be a dashboard, not a graveyard of outdated tasks

In most development shops, the schedule is the last thing to get updated and the first thing to be ignored. This creates ‘Zombie Schedules’—project plans that look green on the executive dashboard but are actually weeks behind reality.

Carina solves this by treating Project Controls as a managed service. We embed a PMP-Certified Controller into your team’s communication flow. We don’t wait for you to report progress; we extract it from your meetings, emails, and vendor updates, keeping your Smartsheet environment live, accurate, and audit-ready.

Here’s how it all works:

1. Building The Engine

If your underlying system is broken, we fix it. Our certified Smartsheet Engineers optimize your workspace, automating workflows and creating an internal operating system that puts the right information in front of the right people at the right time.

2. Driving The Data

We assign a dedicated PMP to your account. They attend stand-ups, digest team communications, and manually update the logic in your schedule. They act as the “librarian” of your project data, ensuring no task is left behind.

3. Validating The Reality

A PMP knows how to track a task; we know if the task is realistic. A Senior BESS Expert reviews every schedule update, flagging optimistic lead times or missing permit steps before they hit your executive dashboard.

Ultimately, Carina provides the one thing capital markets value most: Predictability. We structure the development process to insulate the Owner from scope gaps and regulatory surprises, ensuring that liability sits with the vendors and value stays with the asset. Partner with us to close the execution gap.
