What GoodGantt is

GoodGantt is a Google Chrome extension that adds a Gantt chart view to Trello. It displays boards and tasks from a Trello account, and users can hide boards from the chart. Tasks can be linked with dependencies, so changing dates can shift related tasks. Users can group tasks, create hierarchies, track group progress and set milestones. A workload panel shows team members’ load by task count or working hours per day. From the chart, users can edit task or Trello card names and open Trello cards. Other listed features include task progress, time-spent statistics, change indicators and keyboard shortcuts. GoodGantt also describes connecting time trackers and showing tracked time on task lines, though it labels that feature “SOON.” It describes moving cards automatically between default, in-progress and completed columns based on task creation, time tracking or completion. The free plan is for one user and includes unlimited boards. Standard is listed at $299 a month, billed per user, and includes connections for team members. Professional is listed at $499 a month, billed per user, and includes time-tracker integration, a user workload panel and user card estimate statistics. GoodGantt says it is not officially connected to Trello, Inc.
