Benefits
Flexible and Agile Project Planning
WBS Gantt-Chart for Jira offers a set of features that adds flexibility and agility to project planning. The application, which can be downloaded from the Atlassian Marketplace, allows users to break a large and complex project into sequential tasks, enabling them to easily define the specific parts of the project each team member has to work on. They can set the start and end dates for these individual tasks and adjust the task schedules by performing a simple point-and-click and drag-and-drop. Another feature available in this Jira Gantt chart app is having the ability to create and view dependencies between project tasks. With this feature, users will be able to highlight the impact of one task on another task and the entire project plan such that, when a particular task is delayed, the task linked to it will also be delayed. By setting dependencies, team members can clearly identify and understand which tasks they need to prioritize. The application, furthermore, enables users to distribute workloads and resources in an automated and smart manner. It helps them ensure that the right number of staff and the amount of budget are allocated to each task. WBS Gantt-Chart for Jira automatically raises alerts whenever the amount of workload assigned to a team member is too high.
Powerful Project Monitoring
WBS Gantt-Chart for Jira leverages the powerful capabilities of Jira and Gantt charts to revolutionize how agile organizations and teams visualize, monitor, and measure the progress of their projects. For instance, the application provides milestone tracking capability by which a project timeline is broken down into separate milestones. This makes it easy for users to verify if team members are adhering to project schedules, whether they are working on their tasks too fast or slow. They can also set baselines to determine if the actual execution and progress of projects are consistent with what they have initially planned. As a result, they will be able to find out if their project plans are working well and make the necessary adjustments if needed to make sure that they stay on time and on budget.
Microsoft Project Alternative
Microsoft Project is a reliable project management tool, but it lacks the essential features needed by organizations and teams to achieve maximum agility when it comes to managing their projects. One of which is real-time collaboration. Since Microsoft Project applies a top-down project management approach, much of the control over projects is given to higher-ups, preventing team members to share project updates with each other and give as many inputs as they want on the tasks they are working on. WBS Gantt-Chart for Jira offers real-time collaboration features which include commenting on tasks, sharing project files, and receiving activity notifications. Team members are given the opportunity to actively participate in truly iterative or agile processes and continuously kept updated in real-time. This makes the Gantt chart app a powerful substitute for Microsoft Project.
Deployment
WBS Gantt-Chart for Jira has multiple deployment options (cloud, server, or data center) depending on the customer’s Jira environment.
