Meet the Gantt Chart in Planyway for Jira

[#1]

We’re excited to introduce the Gantt Chart in Planyway for Jira — a new way to plan complex projects while keeping the full Jira issue structure visible.

Timelines are great when you need a quick overview of what is happening and when. But as projects grow, a simple timeline may not provide enough detail. You may need to understand how work is structured, how different issues relate to each other, and what needs to happen before something else can begin.

That’s where the Gantt Chart comes in.

See your Jira structure and schedule together

One of the key advantages of the Gantt Chart is that you don’t have to look at your project as a flat list of issues.

You can see the project hierarchy alongside the timeline, making it easier to understand the relationship between larger work items and the tasks underneath them.

This is especially useful for larger Jira projects where many issues contribute to the same initiative.

With the Gantt Chart, you can:

• See your project hierarchy and timeline side by side
• Keep parent and child issues organized together
• Understand how individual tasks contribute to larger pieces of work
• See dates and durations across different levels of the project
• Visualize dependencies and the sequence of work
• Spot overlaps and potential scheduling problems
• Adjust the plan directly on the timeline

When should you use the Gantt Chart?

The Timeline is still a great option when you need a simpler planning view.

The Gantt Chart becomes especially useful when your project has multiple levels, dependencies, or a large number of interconnected issues.

Instead of switching between Jira, spreadsheets, and separate project planning tools, you can see the structure and schedule of your work together in Planyway.

Give it a try

If you’re already using Planyway for Jira, open the Gantt Chart and try it with one of your projects.

We’d love to hear what you think. How do you currently manage complex project schedules in Jira, and what information is most important for you to see in a Gantt view?
