Competitive Analysis

I closely examined industry leaders such as GantPRO, Monday, Paymo, Teamgantt. In this section, I will share valuable insights from this analysis, shedding light on what makes these apps successful.

💡 Key Takeaways

The main findings show importance of task understanding and planning, the essential need for clear communication and collaboration, the importance of balancing adaptability with stability. From Competitive Analysis:

  • The feature should have the ability to export to PDF, PNG, Excel, or CSV files for convenience. Only GantPRO has it.
  • The ability to compare original timeline projections with the actual timeline of the project with a baseline report is a very useful tool for analyzing and budgeting. Few company has it

User flow for editing chart

In this project, after discussions with the analysist and developer teams, we decided to take a non-trivial approach to editing due to .  Typically only one or two managers can edit the Gantt. While one person is making changes to the Gantt chart, another person can observe and receive notifications.
