The spreadsheet was 47 tabs. We killed it.

We had this master tracking spreadsheet. 47 tabs. Color-coded nightmares. Every Monday, someone would update the wrong row. Every month-end, a formula would break and three people would argue about whose fault it was.

The spreadsheet is gone. The Monday fights are gone.


Try Process Street. Let something die.
