Plan Projects

Create a Gantt Chart in seconds
Not sure how to make a Gantt Chart? In Paymo, all you need to do is to set up tasks with a start and end date. Their duration will automatically show up on the project timeline, so you know when to deliver them. You can also schedule tasks with a drag and drop action.
Prevent burnout
The Gantt Chart tells you which team members should be working on what tasks, on any given day. Pair this up with user filters, and you’ve got yourself a clear picture of their deadlines, performance, and remaining work. Without having to micromanage or overburden them.
Understand how tasks relate to each other
Task dependencies show you which tasks need to be finished before others can start. You can also go one step further and account for an overlap (lead time) or delay (lag time) between two consecutive tasks, a vital hint in maintaining a project plan free of “surprises”.
Schedule Tasks

Deliver projects on time and on budget
The most critical tasks are not the most difficult or most cost intensive ones, but those that when changed, can influence the entire project duration. Learn upfront which activities are critical and what’s the shortest path to deliver your project, on time and on budget.
Manually or automatically
To make sure tasks moves according to the project plan, the Gantt Chart offers visual cues on problems that occur during the project lifecycle: past due tasks and broken dependencies. Make adjustments manually or let the system do the job for you via the auto-scheduling feature.
With your clients or team
Updating your clients about the project progress takes ages? An image is worth a thousand words afterall. Export the Gantt Chart as a PDF/PNG to make things clear for them. Hint: do it right after the project kick-off to evaluate your team’s performance against the project baseline.

Portfolio Gantt Chart
If you’re in charge of the entire portfolio of projects at your company, the Portfolio Gantt Chart offers you the big picture of all active projects. Use it to maintain a balanced project pipeline and know whether you have enough capacity to take on new projects.
Tracked time vs. hourly budgets
As a project manager, knowing who works on what and when is only half the story. You still need to know how things are progressing at a micro level, not just macro. The Gantt Chart will offer you visual indicators of the percentage of hours worked from the total allocated.
Gantt Chart Views, Filters, Show columns
When planning projects, a few extra nudges are gold. View the project timeline in different formats - “Fit” will automatically choose the one that fits your screen. Filter down after the status of a task or display a burndown graph of the worked time for greater control.
We use the Gantt Charts to get an overview of the visual project planning for the customer and the whole team. Since every employee only sees their own own tasks, this makes it easy to show them a compact project overview.
