Integration with current activities
Dynamic Gantt charts help in managing dependencies by preventing issues such as subtasks violating parent task deadlines. Once updated, all dependencies reflect changes accurately.
Task and Subtask Hierarchy
Allows users to toggle between high-level overviews and detailed task actions using an accordion-style display, reducing clutter while providing clarity.
Real-time Collaboration
Provides real-time updates and allows multiple team members to access and contribute to a live project timeline simultaneously.
Color-coded Dependencies
Visualizes dependencies with color-coded lines, enabling easy identification of relationships such as 'Finish-to-Start' or 'Start-to-Finish'.
Centralized Communication
Combines tasks with communication tools so teams can rely on a single source of truth instead of scattered emails or platforms.
Task and Subtask Structure
Allows teams to break down complex goals into manageable components by structuring projects hierarchically. Teams can create tasks and subtasks to clarify the project scope and ensure every step of the process is accounted for.
Accordion Style Display
Enables users to toggle the visibility of tasks and subtasks in one unified list, simplifying navigation and maintaining focus on important tasks.
Dependency Management
Ensures tasks and subtasks are completed in order, maintaining the project's structural integrity. Dependency rules prevent scheduling conflicts.
Gantt Chart Visualization
Displays tasks, subtasks, and dependencies in a visual format, helping teams identify critical paths and bottlenecks. This visual clarity helps manage the project effectively.
Dependency Tracking
Tracks dependencies to improve collaboration, priorities, and risk management within the project management workflow.
Dependency Type Selection
GanttMaster offers an intuitive workflow for selecting dependent tasks and dependency types using a drop-down menu and a color-coded interface. This helps in identifying and managing dependencies easily.
Real-Time Rule Enforcement
The system automatically enforces all dependency rules when tasks are updated. It prevents changes that violate any dependencies by notifying the user, which is vital for managing complex projects.
Subtask Dependencies
GanttMaster enables users to create dependencies not just between tasks but also between subtasks, allowing for detailed project structuring and improved efficiency.
