Project Planning & Timeline Management
Visualize Jira issues on interactive timelines with dependencies, milestones, auto-rescheduling, and holiday calendars for 144 countries.
Key Benefits
Visual timeline planning
Drag-and-drop Gantt charts make complex project plans intuitive and easy to communicate.
Dependency management
Define finish-to-start, start-to-start, and other dependency types. Auto-rescheduling keeps plans consistent.
Multi-project coordination
View issues from multiple Jira projects on a single timeline for cross-team planning and portfolio oversight.
International scheduling
Built-in holiday calendars for 144 countries ensure scheduling accounts for non-working days worldwide.
A practical rollout approach
Start with the operating policy and reporting decisions, then configure the app around that process.
- Step 1
Define the planning scope
Choose the Jira projects, issue types, date fields, and planning horizon that belong on the timeline.
- Step 2
Model meaningful dependencies
Use dependency links only where one task truly constrains another and select the relationship type that matches the work.
- Step 3
Set calendars and ownership
Configure working days, holidays, milestones, and the people responsible for maintaining dates and resolving schedule conflicts.
- Step 4
Review schedule movement
Use a regular planning review to inspect dependency changes, baseline drift, and cross-project effects before committing dates.
Decisions to make first
- A Gantt chart visualizes the quality of the Jira data underneath it; incomplete dates and links create an incomplete plan.
- Auto-rescheduling should be tested on a representative project before it is used across a large portfolio.
- Use baselines and milestones to distinguish an agreed plan from the latest forecast.
