Gantt Chart

Introduction

Fusion Visual Boards come up with Gantt Chart for BMC Helix ITSM, BMC Helix Business Workflows, and Fusion Agility Suite. With drag and drop functionality, the Gantt view allows you to view and group associated tasks, change scheduled start/end dates, and easily identify dependencies, task scheduling errors, and overlap. 

To open Gantt Chart in Fusion Agility Suite

Gantt chart will be viewed once Project has Sprints and Tasks underneath. You can see the "Gantt Diagram" in every Project of Agility Suite. 

A Gantt chart is a graphical depiction of a project schedule. It's is a type of bar chart that shows the start and finish dates of several elements of a project that include resources, milestones, tasks, and dependencies. The “View Gantt” link is displayed when the Project opens in detail mode.

  1. The Gantt chart not only allows better business statements and decisions to be made but also allows the duration and dependency of tasks to be easily adjusted. With the mouse pointer, the bar of a task and thus the duration can be varied. (Here, the blue bar with the mouse helps in rescheduling the dates.)This can also be done via the start and end field or via duration.

  2. The black lines on the chart show the dependency of the Tasks and Task Groups. 

  3. A red line in the diagram symbolizes the current day. 

  4. If the Task is to be opened directly in the Smart-IT, the bar can be selected, and the object can be called via the pencil icon. Higher-level parent objects such as task groups adapt to the behavior of children. 

  5. Zoom in and out of the chart can also be done. 

  6. Tasks conflicts if any can also be resolved from the chart by simply moving the start and end dates with the help of a mouse. Below screenshots shows the same

Project Gantt - Chart UI

  • The user interface of this Gantt Chart can be operated in the same way as the ITSM Gantt Chart. All sprints within a project can be displayed clearly, with the various Project Tasks below. A special feature is a checkbox to define objects as milestones.
  • If a certain milestone is defined, the end date will always be fixed and will not be moved by changes in duration. Here, too the respective Custom Blade can be called up by selecting the respective line with the pencil symbol.
