Free, Limited Gantt Chart Tool
What do you like best?
Agantty, is free, shareable and fairly easy to customize. It's easy to add team members, color code tasks, and view the chart based on team member, calendar date, etc. Notes are very helpful for tracking progress, breaking down subtasks, and communicating between team members.
What do you dislike?
Workflow (adding/editing items, changing dates/durations) interaction is somewhat clunky. I always struggle when attempting to find where to add a task to the chart especially. Remembering to click Save when updating the Notes section has been a bit frustrating. It seems to me that should be an autosave feature.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Agantty is a quick and easy solution for small projects and limited team sizes. It fills a gap when traking and planning is needed, but more advanced tools are not necessary. It is truly for creating a gantt chart-style schedule, with predecessors and sucessors, but no more.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
I use agantty to plan out small initiatives that are not tracked in our corporate project management systems. It's very helpful to me for planning out my year with priority initiatives and preventing overscheduling any particular time of the year. It also facilitates providing updates to my manager on my progress with the tasks.
