GitScrum Gantt Charts is your most optimized way to visualize your project’s timeline with all its multiple tasks and assignments going on. With this dynamic pannel, when you enter your Tasks in your GitScrum Board, they are automatically placed into the Gantt Charts, so you can visualize them on a complete panel.

This is useful because you get to see which Tasks are simultaneous, which ones are happening right at the present moment, the ones to start and the ones to be finished, so you are always aware of your team’s next appointments.
