📌 Why this matters

Removing unnecessary columns helps you focus on the data that actually drives project decisions, reducing visual clutter and cognitive load during reviews. Beyond cleaner views, this directly impacts your team's ability to quickly scan for critical information like delays or budget overruns.

When you're presenting project status to stakeholders, a streamlined table ensures they focus on key metrics rather than getting distracted by irrelevant fields. You can also customize different table views for different audiences, showing executives high-level summaries while keeping detailed technical columns for your project team.
