Overview Presentation

Elegantt is Gantt charting software for Trello. It is a Chrome extension that provides users with a Gantt chart view of projects as an alternative to the default Kanban board view. After a successful installation of the extension, Trello log in, and selection of the specific boards, the software will automatically create a Gantt chart complete with due dates and other card information. Thus, it provides the big picture at a glance. Users can easily see from the chart what tasks are on schedule, and which ones are late, among others. A similar app we found that may compete with Elegantt is Bridge24.

Once connected, they can choose which boards they want to generate a Gantt chart.

Also, the charts look and feel is similar with the PM tool.

Another feature is Milestones, which are visible to the entire team. Email notifications can be sent to the team members regarding this important event, which also include project lead and project end date.

They can modify cards using click-and-drag in the timeline, and changes are automatically seen by all team members. Manual changes can be made anytime to the automatically generated charts.
