Understanding Global vs. Project-Level Easy Gantt
Definition
Easy Gantt comes in two types:
- Global Gantt: Shows all projects available to the user across the platform
- Project Gantt: Focuses on tasks and planning within a single selected project
How It Works
Global Gantt
- Found in the Global Menu » Global Gantt menu
- Displays all available projects in one timeline
- Useful for cross-project planning, high-level overviews, and comparing timelines
- Tasks and milestones from different projects appear together
- Users can work with relations across projects
- Ideal for portfolio managers or anyone coordinating multiple projects
Project-Level Gantt
- Found by navigating to a specific project and selecting the Gantt tab
- Shows only tasks, milestones, and relations within that project
- Focused view for detailed task planning and execution
- Users can work with task hierarchies, deadlines, baselines, and milestones
- Best for team members working deeply on one project
Examples
- A program manager wants to align launch dates across multiple projects. They use Global Gantt to visualize all milestones in one place.
- A developer assigned to a website redesign project uses the Project Gantt to plan sprints, assign deadlines, and view dependencies within that single project.
Conclusion
Global Gantt is best for cross-project management, while Project-Level Gantt is designed for detailed work within one project. Both serve different needs and provide essential tools for effective planning in Easy8.
