How can we create a Project Plan in Confluence

[Juned Shaikh]

I am looking for a project Plan with a Gantt Chart.that can help me to provide a Critical Path Method on the Project Plan as the activities are scheduled automatically.

Also, the notes section should be structured in such a way, it should make the Project Plan look presentable.

If we have any existing samples of the project plan and anyone can share, that would be great.

Thank you!

Regards,

Juned Shaikh

Confluence is a documentation system, not a PPM system.  

We find that most people use Jira and Confluence together to meet their project management and reporting needs.  They track their issues in Jira, indicate progress, set dates, effort, indicate blockers, etc there.  This information is easily aggregated in Confluence by embedding Jira gadgets in to Confluence pages.  There are a number of Gantt apps available for Jira, some of which have Dashboard Gadgets that you could embed in to Confluence pages. I hope that helps point you in the right direction.

Hi everyone!

Using Gantt Chart Planner for Confluence is another option.

And, an article Plan Projects and Roadmaps with Gantt Charts in Confluence Cloud summarizes the pros and cons of various ways to draw Gantt charts in Confluence Cloud.

It might be helpful even though you use Confluence Server/DC.

I hope it helps you.
