These timelines are not gantt charts, they are rather visualisations of start and due dates and dependencies in a schedule. Out of the box, you could use sprints (which is a totally different approach than gantt charts) or project timelines. Scheduling work is part of that, obviously. In comparison, Jira is much more focused on the work actually being delivered and tracking progress in real time. I see it being used very often to showcase the quality of the scheduling work. The gantt chart is an actual gantt chart there, with a critical path and baselining capabilities and stuff like that.
I have never seen it being used differently than for creating a schedule, usually by a project manager who then updates the schedule after collecting data (somehow). Hi Highfill and welcome to the Community!įrom quite a long experience as a consultant working in all kinds of environments, I have never seen MS project being used to actually track work (in real time).
