A task list shows what needs to happen. A Gantt chart shows when work collides: two tasks running at the same time, an overloaded sprint, or a delivery date depending on work that has not started yet. In PrikKlokPlus, the Gantt view helps you monitor project planning visually without a separate planning tool.
What the Gantt view does
The Gantt chart displays tasks on a timeline. Each task gets a bar between its start and end date. This makes parallel work, available space, and deadline risk visible at a glance.
- Tasks by date: start and end dates determine position and bar length.
- Status visibility: open, started, completed, or blocked work remains recognizable.
- Project focus: review planning per project, not as one loose task pile.
- Scrum alignment: board status and timeline planning stay connected.
How to use it
- Open the project you want to plan.
- Add tasks with owner, status, start date, and end date.
- Open the Gantt view and check task order on the timeline.
- Adjust dates on tasks when planning changes.
- Use the overview in team planning or client updates.
Example: a website project has design, content, frontend, and review. In a list, these look separate. On the Gantt chart you see that frontend cannot realistically start while content remains open for three more days.
When this helps
Gantt is useful for projects with dependencies, milestones, or client deadlines. Small teams often use it as a reality check: does the plan still match what the team can actually do this week?

Frequently asked questions
Does Gantt replace the Kanban board?
No. Kanban helps with daily work and status. Gantt helps with timelines, order, and deadline monitoring. Together they provide better context.
Does every task need start and end dates?
Only tasks you want to see on the timeline. Backlog items can stay unscheduled until they are planned.
Can I use Gantt for client communication?
Yes. Use the timeline as an internal overview or export project information for a progress update. Avoid sharing internal notes that are not intended for the client.
