I'm Milena and I'm currently working for a client who is implementing a new version of Jira. We are currently in the phase of finding out which additional apps the customer needs. Specifically, we are now looking at a comparison of "Structure (Gantt)" vs. "Big Picture". Do any of you know the differences/advantages? Many thanks in advance!
If you share your specific requirements I can give you an honest opinion on both apps.
Both apps are excellent, but depends on what the requirements are.

Hi @Fabian Lim
Thanks for your answer.
The main requirements are the following:
- Time values:
Set up an aggregated view in the portfolio as a portfolio manager needs consolidated time values at project level. Estimated hours for a project should be contrasted against actual hours
- Gantt Chart:
Creation/visualisation of a Gantt chart within a project. Critical path , milestones and dependencies (if one task moves, all the other dependent tasks move as well) should be shown.
- Portfoliomanagement:
Overview of all running projects incl. key facts (timeline, budget, resources, etc.)
If you need more details please tell me.
Thanks
Milena

I would go with bigpicture based on the requirements since it looks more like a ppm solution that you need.
Times values:
Gantt chart:
Portfolio:
That being said, I would recommend you try both tools before you make a final decision.

Using bipcture and a bunch of other plugins for an end to end ppm solution

Hi Milena,
Looking at your requirements, I believe that you should consider taking at look at TeamBoard ProScheduler as well. ProScheduler is resource planning scheduler and Gantt chart for Project and Portfolio.

Please take a look at 5-min demo video for more details

Hi @Milena Merten (DE)
My name is Marta, I am a Product Manager from BigPicture (Appfire). I am very glad to see that you considered implementing BigPicture for your client. I just wanted to drop this message to let you know that in case you have any questions regarding BigPicture I would be more than happy to connect and have a chat.
From the requirements you have shared, including Time values, Gantt chart and Portfolio management functionalities, it seems like BigPicture would indeed be a great solution for your client. I would be happy to walk you through those areas and hear your feedback.
@Fabian Lim thank you for recommending BigPicture, great to know it is being appreciated in the Atlassian Community.
Best,
Marta
