Let\u2019s not confuse simplicity with being simplistic. This is wholly unscalable deadline management.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for a project management solution that employs Gantt charts<\/a>, Monday.com<\/a> ain\u2019t it, chief.<\/p>\n

Monday.com boasts a pathological hatred for Gantt charts and, according to them, you shouldn\u2019t expect to find them in their product. Ever. And that\u2019s a problem, because while understanding what your team\u2019s workload looks like from each individual\u2019s perspective is valuable, it isn\u2019t enough.<\/p>\n

Gantt Charts Provide Project\u00a0Context<\/h4>\n

Henry Gantt developed Gantt Chart to provide project-oriented clarity when working on the construction of marvels such as the Hoover Dam and the Interstate Highway. We recognize that your team may not be working on a project with the magnitude to restrain a river behind 3,250,000 cubic yards (2,480,000 cubic meters) of concrete, but to think that Gantt chart only proves its mettle in supermassive projects is naive.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no denying that people propel projects, but a project\u2019s goals, timelines, and deliverables are sums greater than the parts. A Gantt chart emphasizes process and method to build a roadmap to success while highlighting celebratory checkpoints along the way.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s not confuse simplicity with being simplistic. This is wholly unscalable deadline management.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Disregarding your project\u2019s milestone examples<\/a> to focus exclusively<\/em> on an individual\u2019s tasks is like playing for good stats on a sports team without concern for a game\u2019s or season\u2019s outcome. At the end of the day, we\u2019re in this together with a common objective, and a Gantt chart helps everyone reference, adjust, and follow the path to victory.<\/p>\n

But Gantt Charts Hurt My\u00a0Eyes<\/h4>\n

Oh, we\u2019re with you on that one. Nothing injects pure anxiety and terror into the fiber of one\u2019s being quite like a Gantt chart that resembles a conspiracy theorist\u2019s workroom.<\/p>\n

But let\u2019s not overreact and erase an entire methodology simply because it could use improvement. After all, they\u2019re planning on improving the Hoover Dam<\/a>\u200a\u2014\u200anot destroying it outright.<\/p>\n

Gantt Chart Reimagined with Nifty Milestones<\/h3>\n

We at Nifty<\/a> wanted to clean up the myriad of bars running amok on your typical Gantt chart, and we did so by consolidating tasks into Gantt-style project milestones<\/a> that are propelled with automation.<\/p>\n

When tasks that are tied to Milestones are completed, the milestone status automatically reflects the progress made.<\/p>\n

\"Creating,<\/p>\n

Creating, updating, and completing tasks is simple and retains project context<\/em><\/p>\n

Nifty Milestones<\/a> also cater to more complex workflows with dependencies that enforce a process for the entire team in your project by locking tasks tied to the future milestone.<\/p>\n

\"Nifty
<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This an organized, scalable way to view one or all of your project\u2019s initiatives as you can focus on goals and not every individual task duration at once.<\/p>\n

Focusing On Your\u00a0Work<\/h4>\n

We recognize that a Gantt chart isn\u2019t the best way to find what you need to do on any given day, week, or month. This isn\u2019t what Gantt charts set out to solve, and so a different problem requires a different solution, which is why Nifty has flexible options from Gantt view to Timeline, Calendar, and Kanban. Rather than have to choose between seeing what you<\/em> need to do and what needs to be done in a project, why not have everything?<\/p>\n
