looking for a smart easy tool for Gantt

[Oranit]

Dear Team

As a software development company, we are managing all of our resources, tasks and progress in the Jira.

I need to find the easiest tool that would help me track in the most friendly way:

1. Resource management - company-wide / each project separately

2. Schedule tracking

3. Dependencies and priorities - for example if I need a specific developer in 2 projects for the same time - have some notification that he is occupied and ask me to change the date planned.. 

4. Budget tracking

5. Friendly view of timeline with what's in progress / done

Do we have all that in Atlassian?

What is the cost per user?

Hi @Oranit 

It's quite a few different features for one tool - but I would recommend:

• Check out Advanced Roadmaps, which is a Jira Premium feature. It can do some of the things you mention above.
• Check out Project Management Apps such as...
  • BigPicture
  • Resource Planning, Gantt Chart, Project Management for Jira 
  • Time Tracking, Timesheet, Resource Planning & Cost for Jira 
  • Tempo's Apps
  • Structure / Structure Gantt

Quite a few of these Apps will work in conjunction with each other - to help you cover all your requirements in a seamless, connected way.

Or, look for other options which might be of interest on the Marketplace :)

Many thanks for the information.

That leads me to farther questions hope that they are clear:

1. Is there a possibility to add a task that is not in the projects scope and not included in Jira?  Such as - sales / pre sales activities etc, before getting approval and starting developments and product design activity...)

2. Can we set a baseline plan and check it during progress in front of the actual timeline and hours spent? (foe example, in Instagantt there is a possibility to mark a plan as the baseline and always compare the current situation to the baseline to see all diviations) if there is such option, where can I find the instructions of how to work with that?

How many 'baselines' can I set per project / sprint?

3. Is there a possibility to share a specific roadmap with client without giving him any access to any other info in the project?

Hi @Oranit 

These are just recommendations to review :)

I'd recommend reaching out to each App's vendor separately to ask these questions - they will have the best answers, and potentially be able to provide some demos for you!
