=Overview=

Gantter is a project management application that generates Gantt charts. Gantt charts are very useful for visualizing a project plan. A Gantt chart, named after their creator Henry Gantt, are a kind of bar chart that presents the project’s tasks spread over the project’s schedule. Gantter presents the user with a ready-made table with relevant headings, such as. “cost”, “duration”, “resources” and more. Tasks can be assigned multiple resources and owners, and relations between tasks can be created. The information the user puts in is translated automatically by Gantter into a Gantt chart.

The result is an elaborated Gantt chart that includes the work breakdown structure, milestones, schedule, task owners, and resources. Gantter shows which tasks depend on other tasks, and can group several tasks together. Any change to the plan made to the Gantt chart is automatically updated to the Gantter’s spreadsheet. Gantter automatically calculates the costs and time for group of tasks and for the whole project.

=Advantages= =Disadvantages= = The bottom line = Gantter is good for initial stages of a project when you need to plan it, estimate how long it will take, estimate how much it will cost, and for visualizing the project plan with a detailed Gantt chart. =Demonstration=
 * Gantter is free and web-based and requires only a quick installation of the app to a web browser.
 * Gantter is great for estimating the cost and time of different project stages and of the whole project.
 * Gantter offers a quick easy way of producing very detailed Gantt charts that can be easily modified if the plan changes.
 * Gantter’s integration with Google Drive means that Gantter projects can be saved on Google Drive along with other necessary project documents. This speeds up the workflow. Gantter also synchronizes with Google Calendar allowing for start dates and deadlines to appear on both.
 * Gantter can be accessed on mobile phones through its mobile app.
 * Note that while Gantter is great for estimating time and costs, it cannot be used for estimating the scope of a project. This is just not what Gantter is for. It is not intended to use the amount and quality of work put into each task and stage.
 * Unfortunately, Gantter might not remain free forever. Our advice is to keep your eyes open for changes in price.
 * Gantter’s user interface requires some effort to learn. Fortunately, Gantter has a good help section and forum. After some initial struggle, working with Gantter becomes somewhat easier. Once you get the hang of it, you quickly get impressive results: a very detailed Gantt chart, project time and costs estimations that help you manage the scope of the project.
 * For best results printing, try PNG or HTML printing option. Printing the Gantter file to PDF is a little disappointing because the table and Gantt chart are not resized to fit the pages’ length and might be split unaesthetically over several pages.
