Scalable, nested, graphical Gantt projectplan

by Marc Dzaebel

Preview Image of Scalable, nested, graphical Gantt projectplan Rated 3 out of 5 stars

A WiKi page showing Polarion live plan as common Gantt diagram. Tasks are sorted by parent relations and start date. They are hierarchically nested and the depth can be dynamically changed. The planned duration from the live plan is used to show scaled graphical bars so that one page fills the complete project plan. Summary tasks are rendered black/italic. Date ranges and time points can be set via the UI and you can change the scale dynamically.
