Managing Projects in Jira? Create a Personalized Planning Experience with Gantt Suite

Thousands of teams rely on Jira every day. They plan projects, coordinate resources, manage dependencies, and deliver work across departments, industries, and time zones. Yet despite sharing the same platform, no two teams work exactly alike.

With the latest Gantt Suite for Jira release, we're introducing Toolbar Customization, a new capability that allows every team to shape the application around its own planning style.

Design a Workspace That Works for You

The toolbar is one of the most frequently used areas of any planning application. It provides access to actions, settings, views, and planning tools that teams rely on throughout the day.

However, not every button is equally important to every user.

With Toolbar Customization, you can decide exactly which actions should be available, where they should appear, and how they should be organized.

Instead of adapting your workflow to the application, the application adapts to your workflow. Teams can remove actions they rarely use, add frequently accessed commands to the primary toolbar, rearrange buttons for quicker access, and group related functions using visual separators. The result is a cleaner, more focused workspace that supports the way your team actually plans.

This creates a more streamlined experience, helping planners focus on the task at hand rather than searching through menus and options.

For teams managing large projects with hundreds of work items and dependencies, even small usability improvements can save significant time over the course of a project.

Built Around Real Planning Habits

Every organization develops its own planning habits.

A project manager overseeing strategic initiatives may need immediate access to workload balancing and resource analysis tools. A delivery manager may prioritize timeline controls and dependency management. A PMO may rely heavily on exports and reporting features.

Toolbar Customization allows each user to create an environment that reflects those priorities.

Whether your focus is resource planning, schedule optimization, or project tracking, the toolbar can be organized around the tools you use most often.

This level of personalization helps reduce friction and creates a more intuitive planning experience from the moment you open the chart.

A Planning Tool That Adapts to Your Business

Organizations invest in Jira because it can support a wide variety of processes and methodologies. Planning tools should offer the same flexibility.

Toolbar Customization is another step toward making Gantt Suite for Jira a solution that adapts to your business rather than forcing your business to adapt to the tool.

YOUR PROJECTS ARE UNIQUE. YOUR PROCESSES ARE UNIQUE. YOUR PLANNING ENVIRONMENT SHOULD BE TOO.

With Toolbar Customization, Gantt Suite for Jira gives teams the freedom to create a workspace that matches their needs, supports their habits, and helps them plan with greater efficiency and confidence.

Because in a Jira ecosystem used by thousands of organizations across countless industries, flexibility isn't just a nice-to-have. It's essential.

 

Gantt Suite for Jira helps teams visualize timelines, manage dependencies, balance workloads, and plan projects directly in Jira.
