The Gantt view is ideal for project planning and tracking, especially for projects with multiple dependencies and timelines. It provides a visual representation of your project schedule, making it easier to manage tasks and resources. Here’s how to use the Gantt view:
-
Access the Gantt View:
- Go to the board you want to visualize as a Gantt chart.
- Click on the ‘Views’ dropdown and select ‘Gantt View.’
-
Add Task Dependencies:
- In the Gantt view, you can link tasks that depend on each other. Click on the edge of a task and drag the arrow to the task it depends on. This visual linkage helps in planning and adjusting timelines effectively.
-
Adjust Timelines:
- Click and drag the edges of task bars to extend or shorten the duration of tasks. This allows you to adjust the time frame for each task based on project needs.
- Move tasks along the timeline to adjust start and end dates as needed. Simply click and drag the task bar to the desired dates.
-
Set Milestones:
- Milestones are key dates or events in your project that indicate significant progress. To add a milestone, click on the ‘Add Milestone’ button and set the date and name for the milestone.
- Milestones help you track major achievements and ensure that the project stays on track.
-
Track Progress:
- Use the Gantt view to monitor project progress, identify delays, and adjust schedules accordingly. The Gantt view provides a clear visual representation of the project timeline and task dependencies.
- Color-coded task bars can indicate the status of each task (e.g., completed, in progress, delayed), making it easier to see at a glance how the project is progressing.
-
Export and Share Gantt Charts:
- You can export your Gantt chart to share with stakeholders or team members who may not have access to Monday.com. To export, click on the ‘Export’ button and choose the desired format (e.g., PDF, Excel).
- Sharing the Gantt chart helps keep everyone informed about the project schedule and progress.
By leveraging the Gantt view, you can improve project planning, enhance visibility into timelines and dependencies, and ensure that your projects are completed on time and within budget.
