How to SmartSuite
THE #1 SmartSuite TRAINING PROGRAM FOR PROFESSIONALS TO
Learn SmartSuite essentials in 1 day.
Unlock the action-oriented mini course and expert support to build SmartSuite confidence in hours, not months.
BY CENTRALIZING TASKS AND COLLABORATION,
SMARTSUITE CAN TRANSFORM YOUR DAILY WORK.
SmartSuite has combined the power of a database with the features of a task manager to disrupt the work management software space. Set up properly, SmartSuite becomes the one centralized spot to see everything you need to do, think about, or discuss as it communicates with your other tools.
Sounds amazing, doesn’t it?
Yet, I’m guessing your SmartSuite journey hasn’t been so simple…
REGARDLESS OF ALL THE SHINY FEATURES THAT SMARTSUITE HAS...
TO GET RESULTS, YOU NEED TO KNOW HOW TO USE SMARTSUITE.
Here’s a hard truth: SmartSuite is only as powerful as your and your collaborators’ ability to use SmartSuite. Perhaps you or your team have struggled with the practical side of navigating SmartSuite or maybe it’s the fundamentals of systems and processes that are holding you back… either way, you’re finding yourself stuck on the wrong end of the SmartSuite learning curve.
YOU WANT TO BUILD SMARTSUITE CONFIDENCE FASTER SO YOU CAN:
Know where to start your day so you can spend less time finding work and more time getting work done.
Eradicate wasted time in your own role, and amongst your team, by skipping SmartSuite trial and error.
Feel confident in your ability to use core SmartSuite features to collaborate professionally with your team.
Remove miscommunication and add clarity by learning the best practices which your whole team can follow.
YOU KNOW YOU NEED TO LEARN SMARTSUITE QUICKLY AND...
YOU CAN'T OUTSOURCE LEARNING.
If you’re like most SmartSuite users, you’ve considered (or tried) learning SmartSuite fundamentals the hard way:
- DIYing your setup using YouTube tutorials alone, but you were tripped up by all the possibilities and struggled to filter through all the noise.
- Downloading SmartSuite templates that promise to fast-track your setup, but feel irrelevant when it comes to your actual goals and your industry.
- Investing in generic online courses to upskill your team, but find they’re out of date, and lack the support you need to truly digest the information.
You’ve found yourself drowning in endless information that doesn’t really answer the core question, “How should we actually use SmartSuite each day?”
That's why we created How to SmartSuite.
LET'S REVIEW HOW IT WORKS IN JUST 4 MINUTES...
How to SmartSuite is the online course + expert training designed to help busy people increase their confidence and productivity using SmartSuite in less than one day.

CEOs & Big-Picture Thinkers who need to know enough to be able to delegate tasks quickly or review the big picture within SmartSuite, but don't want or need to be lost in the details.

CEO & PROCESS CONSULTANT AT PROCESSDRIVEN
As a Process & Technology Consultant, I’ve spent years working with small teams on work management implementations. After guiding teams through 1,000+ software rollouts, I’ve learned two powerful lessons:
- Every user — not just Admins — needs to understand their work management software’s basic features fully and completely in order to have a successful long-term adoption. (That’s why done-for-you setups will often fail — no one can learn for your team.)
- There’s no replacement for having a human anticipate your questions and help you find your way when you get stuck.
I originally created our first mini course back in 2020 as a series of simple video guides to teach my clients’ team members how to thrive inside of their work management software. Multiple years and hundreds of iterations later, that original course + support program has guided 1,700+ students to confidence!
We’ve now adapted our action-oriented “how to” framework for SmartSuite users!

This course is built for beginners. No experience with SmartSuite is necessary to get started.
This course covers essential topics like:
- SmartSuite navigation;
- SmartSuite account settings;
- SmartSuite hierarchy;
- Focusing in SmartSuite;
- How to use the Hierarchy;
- How to use Views;
- How to use Fields;
- and more…
To keep our scope laser-focused, the course explicitly does not cover designing SmartSuite, setting up SmartSuite, or any admin-level features. (That’s what we teach in our advanced program!)
This course is designed for the SmartSuite beginner who is looking to effectively manage their daily work. For that reason, we’ve purposefully not included any advanced or Admin-level discussions.
Don’t worry! We do offer a separate advanced program specifically for admins and power users. That program covers SmartSuite setup (and the strategy behind it), as well as the features that are essential for Admin users.
No, it doesn’t. We focus on teaching the highest return-on-time features that all users truly need to know.
We spend a ridiculous amount of time culling our curriculum to be as succinct and digestible as possible because we do not believe more information is more good. As the old saying goes, “If I had more time, I would have written a shorter letter.”
Good question!
We believe every brain learns at its own pace but, on average, users tend to spend 2-4 hours on the core course content. The time spent on bonus resources like the monthly livestreams, the Replay Library, or discussion threads… well, that’s entirely up to you! 😉
You can work through the material at your own pace, too! Some users binge the course in one afternoon while others chip away at it over several weeks.
You probably could! The challenge is, this information is scattered between SmartSuite help docs, outdated YouTube videos, and interwoven with mountains of information you don’t actually need to know.
How to SmartSuite is a curated, sequential, and constantly-updated learning resource designed for those who would rather pay a small amount of money to save a significant amount of time.
How to SmartSuite doesn’t waste your time with “shiny” features — it tells you exactly what functions will matter most to you. Then, once you’ve got the essential information, it tells you exactly how to implement it into your SmartSuite account before moving on.
How to SmartSuite also includes something you won’t get by Googling: four weeks of access to our Members SmartSuite Forum, where you can view previous questions and ask questions of your own. Additionally, every student unlocks four weeks of access to browse the replay library of our Rapid Review, where we recap SmartSuite Release Notes and answer questions in ProcessDriven Foundations™.
How much “Googling time” could you save by being able to ask leading SmartSuite experts your stickiest questions? The answer is a lot!
We believe so strongly in How to SmartSuite that we use this exact same product to train our own ProcessDriven team members how to use SmartSuite.
But — just in case — we do offer a hassle-free 14-Day Money-Back Guarantee. If you purchased your product less than 14 days ago and aren’t satisfied with your purchase you can request a refund. (Though we doubt you’ll need it! 😉)
However, if you’re on the fence and don’t view How to SmartSuite as a no-brainer…please don’t pressure yourself to enroll! It might not be the right time. Instead, take some time to enjoy all of our free content to see if your situation would benefit from our help. We’ll be here when you’re ready!
If you’re looking to use SmartSuite on a day-to-day basis with more confidence and fewer clicks, you’ll probably find How to SmartSuite helpful. Our guidance is designed for the complete beginner but we provide best practices and bonus resources that even expert-level SmartSuite users can learn from.
Unlike YouTube, How to SmartSuite is organized sequentially, available in multiple learning formats, and meticulously updated as SmartSuite changes. If you’re looking for the most efficient way to build basic SmartSuite skills, this is faster – by far – than skimming dozens of impossible-to-update YouTube videos.
Yes! We review this course for potential updates every time SmartSuite publishes new Product Updates, which is usually weekly.
You’ll receive lifetime access to the product, How to SmartSuite, for as long as this course exists!
