The coffee use case – data driven smooth coffee time in the office

6 October 2025

Data to fight caffeine deficiency? In our experience, the existence or non-existence of coffee is as much a project risk as the existence or non-existence of a test environment.

Szöveg: For us, not only the status of projects but also coffee consumption is tracked in Smartsheets to make sure there is always enough of everything.

? What do we measure?



  • Who drinks how much - Coffee consumption per team
  • No coffee without milk - Coffee consumption by coffee type
  • Stock monitoring + automatic e-mail for purchaser



? What are the result products

  • Fewer “no more coffee, who drank it and why didn't you tell me” situations
  • Better planning (coffee = priority, not luxury)
  • Data-driven everyday

Because what you don't measure, you can't manage.

And what you don't manage, you... run out of. ☕
