New in Gantt Suite for Jira: Faster Planning with Inline Work Item Creation & Bulk Actions

[#1]

Project planning in Jira often comes down to one thing: how quickly and clearly you can turn ideas into structured work. Opening dialogs, switching contexts, and filling out forms can slow down even the most experienced Jira users.

With our latest update to Gantt Suite for Jira, we’re introducing two highly requested capabilities designed to remove friction and help teams plan faster:

• Create new work items inline - directly on the chart

• Select multiple items and apply changes in bulk

With Inline Work Item Creation, you can now add and structure tasks directly on the Gantt chart. Whether you’re breaking down an Epic or adding work at the same level, everything happens in context, without leaving the timeline. This makes planning sessions more fluid and significantly reduces the time spent on routine actions.

At the same time, Multiselect and Bulk Actions allow you to update multiple work items at once. Instead of making repetitive changes, you can quickly reassign tasks, adjust start date, or update fields like Parent (Cloud only), Fix Versions, and Status across several items in just a few clicks. This is particularly useful when plans shift or when managing larger projects where consistency and speed matter.

These features were built based on feedback from our customers and reflect real-world planning scenarios across teams from engineering and delivery to operations and marketing. The goal is simple: reduce manual effort, improve clarity, and help teams adapt faster.

With this release, Gantt Suite for Jira continues to focus on what matters most - keeping your planning process efficient, flexible, and aligned with how teams actually work.
