Free Gantt chart for projects: plan without paying
A Gantt chart aligns tasks, start/end dates, milestones, and dependencies on a timeline — ideal for critical path and stakeholder communication.
Limit of Gantt-only tools: plans go stale if tasks are not linked to execution (Kanban, statuses, workload).
With Nexa Scrumban, Gantt syncs with the Kanban board in a free tool.
When to use Gantt (and when to skip it)
- Yes to Gantt: multi-team coordination, strong dependencies.
- Prefer Kanban: continuous flow, support, iterative product work.
- Both: Scrumban — backlog + macro Gantt + Kanban execution.
Build a useful Gantt in 4 steps
- List deliverables (not 200 micro-tasks upfront).
- Set real dependencies (B cannot start without A).
- Add visible milestones (MVP, UAT, production).
- Review weekly: plan vs actual Kanban velocity.
