Using the Gantt Chart

The Gantt chart gives you a timeline view of releases, sprints, tasks, and issues — who is working on what, when each item is scheduled, and how items depend on each other. It is the best view for spotting scheduling conflicts and planning across sprints.

Overview​

Open the chart by clicking Gantt in the sidebar. The page is split into two synced panels:

  • Left panel — a collapsible hierarchy: Releases → Sprints → Tasks (and Issues, if enabled). Each row shows the title, assignee, and key details.
  • Right panel — the timeline. Each item is drawn as a bar whose position and width come from its planned start and end dates. Today is marked with a vertical line, and dependencies are shown as arrows between bars.

Below the header a legend shows what the different bar colours mean, along with the current dependency count.

Filters and controls​

A filter row sits under the header with three multi-select dropdowns:

  • Sprint
  • Priority
  • Assignee

The toolbar on the right of the header groups more controls:

  • Link button — toggles link mode. When on, click a source bar then a target bar to create a "blocks" dependency. The label changes to "Click source..." / "Click target..." to guide you.
  • Issues button — loads and shows issue rows alongside task rows.
  • Zoom selector — pick Week, Month, or Quarter from the dropdown.
  • Zoom in / out — the magnifier buttons step one level at a time (Quarter is the widest, Week is the most detailed).
  • Today button — scrolls the timeline so today is visible.

Moving bars to reschedule​

Admins can drag bars to change planned dates:

  • Move — click the middle of a bar and drag left or right to shift both start and end.
  • Resize end — grab the right edge of the bar to change only the end date.
  • Resize start — grab the left edge to change only the start date.

If linked-task movement is enabled in workspace settings, moving a task will also shift the tasks it depends on. Changes save automatically, and a brief toast appears in the top-right when they do.

Managing dependencies​

Existing dependencies appear as arrows from the end of one bar to the start of another. To add a new one, turn on Link mode and click the source, then the target. A message confirms the link. To remove a dependency, open the task's detail page and delete it from the Dependencies section.

Tips​

  • The timeline scrolls to today automatically on first load, and again whenever you change zoom level.
  • If a task has no planned start or end, it will not appear as a bar — set both dates on the task detail page.
  • The footer strip shows totals: releases, sprints, tasks, issues, and dependency arrows in view.
