Benefits

• Visualize cross-project, cross-team work on a timeline: A Project Manager or Portfolio Manager can quickly see the start and finish dates for tasks, their dependencies, grouping and progress, critical path, and scheduling conflicts.
• Visualize resource allocation: A Project or Portfolio Manager can see how their resources are being used within a project or a portfolio of projects and identify where the resources have been over- or under-allocated.
• Manage the plan: A Project Manager is able to quickly change things right on the Gantt chart – move tasks around, create dependencies, resolve scheduling conflicts. That speeds up planning while delivering comprehensive results.
• Manage resource availability on global scale: A Project Manager can easily assign work to available resources based on calendars, time zones, capacity, and availability periods. That simplifies situational planning with respect to vacations or changing team size.

Not a Structure user?

If you're not already using Structure for Jira, you may not be aware of the inherent benefits found in Structure.Gantt.

• Shared, hierarchical, real-time work breakdown structures, based on information that already exists in Jira
• A single source of truth for project planning
• Save time: Create and edit issues directly in work breakdown structures
• See what you want to see it, how you want to see it: Aggregate, then slice-and-dice information coming from different projects and teams – from Agile, to Waterfall, to Ad hoc, or whatever processes your teams use
• See the level of detail needed to make a decision: Zoom out (and hide the details) so you can see the big picture, or zoom in and drill down into the details
