How to use it well

GanttProject offers a direct way to communicate dependencies and milestones through a chart. Keep the project definition focused on work that affects timing, and use exports when reviewers only need a readable snapshot.

List deliverables and milestones before choosing dates, then connect tasks that genuinely depend on each other. Review resource allocation to catch unrealistic workloads. Export a readable chart for stakeholders who only need to review the plan, while keeping the editable source file backed up.
