The new year looms, and with it comes more exciting yet challenging projects. From agile software development to portfolio management, we’re here to help you navigate your way to success in the ever-evolving project management landscape.
To ensure WBS Gantt-Chart for Jira is fully equipped to support your ambitious goals, we focus on building functionalities that address real-world challenges. Here’s a recap of the top requested features introduced in 2023, thanks to your invaluable feedback.
Improve clarity for all stakeholders: Better progress tracking and project monitoring
Efficient project management hinges on the ability to track progress and monitor key milestones. With these WBS Gantt-Chart enhancements, keeping tabs on your project’s journey is more intuitive than ever.
Milestone progress line
Visualizing milestones just got a whole lot easier. The addition of a milestone progress line allows you to see at a glance how each milestone is advancing or whether it’s behind schedule, so you can always stay on top of crucial project events.
Percentage(%) Done calculation
Accurate project tracking requires precise result updates from team members. Once an issue is completed (resolved), the % Done will be set to 100%. As a result, you don’t need to update progress fields separately; you’ll always have a real-time overview of your project’s progress.
Collapsible view to focus on issue tree or Gantt view
You can easily switch between the full screen of the issue tree and Gantt chart, depending on the requirements. 
Unlock Gantt for every project and team in Jira
The power of Gantt charts is now at your fingertips for every type of project and team in Jira Cloud. WBS Gantt-Chart app is now compatible with more project types, including Jira Service Management and Work Management projects. Your team can transform their work into Gantt charts seamlessly for more versatile use cases:
Jira Service Management projects
Whether you’re managing IT services or customer support projects, WBS Gantt-Chart lets you visualize tickets in a more dynamic view, especially to map related bug reports and corresponding tickets from development boards. You can also quickly generate the Gantt chart view directly from the project side panel and gauge the complete timeline of your queue. 
Work Management projects
The Work Management project type is designed for business teams focused on task management and collaboration, which requires a comprehensive timeline view. With WBS Gantt-Chart support, you can now effortlessly create Gantt charts in Jira for these projects, enhancing visibility and coordination. It’s extremely helpful since the Timeline feature for business projects currently lacks Epic visualization and resource view. 
Templates sharing for team-managed projects
Kick-off new projects in seconds with extended support for template sharing – compatible with both company-managed and team-managed projects. 
Dark mode
Last but not least, you can now tailor your workspace to your preferences with the introduction of dark mode. Whether you’re burning the midnight oil or simply prefer a sleek, modern interface, the new theme enhances the visual experience while reducing eye strain. 
Effortless Gantt Chart Visualization
Creating planning charts and visualizing Gantt charts in Jira should be a seamless process. We make it easier than ever to transform your project data into a dynamic and informative Gantt chart.
Create an instant Gantt chart view
