BigGantt - Gantt Chart for Jira - Anyone use this to track projects on an individual basis?

We are looking to start tracking our business/software upgrade projects using Jira. We are planning to open a Jira Business Project for each project we want to track. To view the projects as a "portfolio view" with a Go-Live, Project start and Project end dates - we will be using the Profields add-on. This gives us the ability to add labels to the Projects on the Project level so we can report on.

But for a Project Manager - they will need to review their tasks on a calendar/Gantt view. So we are thinking to use BigGantt to track that. But all that we have found is that BigGantt tracks projects as a Program - which is a combined listing of issues/tasks from all of the selected projects that are part of the Program defined.

I'm wondering if anyone out there uses BigGantt to track projects on an individual basis?

Hi Jason

Another option for your list is Easy Agile Roadmaps for Jira. 

You can create a visual roadmap for each project, including epics, issues, stories, tasks. As long as these projects sit in the one board that can all be included in the one Roadmap.

Your project manager can create swim lanes, colour coding and version markers to help organise and identify each project.

Let me know what you think if you get a chance to check it out
