Online Gantt chart software for project planning and team collaboration

GanttPRO ships a quarter's worth of features at a time, filed as blog tutorials.

Current state
This feed announces product changes as how-to posts, with the actual feature named after the colon. The two most recent — dashboard export with portfolio invitations, and a rebuilt list view — landed on the same day in August, after a three-month gap since the shared board-view link in May. Behind those sit table reports and an AI Gantt chart maker from March. Cadence is quarterly at best, and the gaps are filled with awards notices and evergreen tutorials.
Where it's heading
Two threads run through the recent work. One is giving people outside the project a way in: shared private links for board view, invitations to portfolios, dashboard export — each aimed at a stakeholder who needs the picture without a seat in the plan. The other is loosening the product's attachment to the chart it is named after, through the list view, board view and table reports. For a tool that sold one visualisation, methodically shipping all the others is the more consequential of the two.
Prediction
Expect the next release to extend the sharing thread — export or link-based access to the views that do not yet have it — since three of the last four features have been about read-only distribution. The March AI chart maker has drawn no follow-up in the entries here, so whether it becomes a line of work or stays a one-off is not something this feed answers.

    How to Share Project Progress and Collaborate on Portfolios with GanttPRO: Dashboard Export and Invitations to Portfolios

    Dashboards can now be exported and outside collaborators invited directly to portfolios, separating stakeholder reporting from day-to-day project access. It is the clearest statement yet of the sharing thread: sponsors and clients get the high-level view without being given the plan.

    How to Manage Projects with GanttPRO: Updated List View

    An updated list view for teams that would rather review tasks and update statuses in rows than on a timeline. Another step in decoupling the product from the Gantt chart, and squarely aimed at the members who never wanted the chart in the first place.

    How to Present Your Projects with GanttPRO: Shared Private Link for Board View

    Shared private links extend to board view, so an external audience can be sent the board rather than the timeline. It pairs the sharing and multi-view threads in a single feature, and set the pattern the August dashboard export follows.

    From an Idea to a Plan in Minutes: Meet the AI Gantt Chart Maker

    ⚡ SPARK

    An AI Gantt chart maker that turns a described project into a scheduled plan. It is the one release in this window that changes what the product is for rather than what it can display, and it sits oddly alone — nothing in the four months since builds on it.

    How to Accurately Analyze Budget, Progress, and Time on Tasks with GanttPRO: Table Reports

    Table reports join the graphical reports shipped previously, covering progress, budget and time on tasks in a form that can be read row by row. Consistent with the pattern of adding a second representation of data the product already held.
