Have you ever found yourself in a tangle of complex, unpredictable change that makes your head spin? Us too. That’s why we’ve created something that’ll make it all a bit easier to manage – a Gantt Chart in Sharktower. We know, we know – “Another Gantt Chart? Really?!” But bear with us, because we’ve got some data that might surprise you.
Analysing countless change programs, we discovered a significant shift: three years ago, half of change programmes were complex, and now it’s a whopping 80%. This surge in complexity makes managing change daunting, often pushing us towards familiar methods. And if you do like Gantt charts, you’re not alone. Research by Project Manager revealed Gantt charts topped the list of preferred project management formats – with 36% of the vote.
What we’ve done
We’ve combined the reliability of Gantt charts with the power of Sharktower to create a sort of Gantt 2.0 – one that won’t make you feel like you’ve been transported back to the 1980s. You can plan projects, visualise timelines, and track progress with ease. And of course, you can still link risks, issues, tasks, and decisions to the plan and keep everything in one place.
But this is not just any old Gantt chart. Here’s what sets it apart:
- Real-time insights: Unlike offline relics that could be outdated, our Gantt chart offers a real-time window into project progress.
- Integrated excellence: Nestled within Sharktower, our Gantt chart isn’t gathering dust in some forgotten folder. Project leaders can effortlessly cross-reference it with project budgets, objectives, and more.
