I have used MS Projects in the past and Agantty quite recently (it's not free anymore unfortunately), and while these had much more options than GanttProject. I think I have finally found a stable daily use tool that is quite easy to use and understand as well as essentially free (since I am a freelancer, this matters a lot to me). Thank you for building such a useful tool.
It is explained in the tutorial, scroll to 4:53. Project menu --> Properties... --> click Resource Roles in left tab, then you can create role. They will later be available when you add new resources. Using GanttProject 2.6 Brno RC III (build 1440)
Very clear and informative. Gave me a fast startup for this product. I agree with others who say you should do more videos, for example, an advanced or intermediate level video for the gantt project.
If you can see the name of the Task on the Gantt Chart or change where it appears, go to Edit > Settings > Gantt Chart at the bottom on Task Details you can select where you want to see the task name or if you want to see the task id among other options.
It takes less than a minute to make such a stupid comment. It likely took Dmitry hours to prepare this video and his presentation is clear and concise. your comment is insensitive you should apologise.
Thanks for the video. This sounds like a potentially great piece of software, but I am not sure how to convey 'slack' or 'float' using this representation i.e. display the different between how long I expect a task to take, and how much time I have to complete a task
Very didactic explanation. Thank you!! I want to ask you about the columns of Gantt diagram - custom fields manager (such as "name", "end date", "progress", etc. I can generate new columns, ... but I want to know if I can associate a function (adds between columns ; comparing dates), as is the column of "progress" or "alerts"? Thanks again !!
hey this was GREAT! I am very excited about this software (as I am a new project coordinator taking on a massive project) and this tutorial was very helpful. Worth every minute. I hope you got an 'A' on this assignment, Mark.

Why when indenting a task 6 under task 5, it is a task 5 adjusting duration for task 6? I want task 5 to last 6 days as a superordinated task while indented task 6 only 3 day. But no, once I indented and set task 6 to 3 days, the superordinated task 6 shrinks to 3 days and i cannot change that. Also the bar for superordinated task 6 starts looking like a bracket instead of a full bar. How can I change this? Or get a control over ranking?
I was loving everything so far and then he said task durations cannot be shorter than a day. Is there any way around this, for construction scheduling.
Hi, Very useful video thanks. Regarding the export,I have a long gantt chart and need to export it to print it as a document. The issue is that when I export it in pdf, the whole gantt chart is shown on a single page and is not very clear. Is there a way to export the gantt chart on multiple pages to make it more clear? Thanks
This is a great tool! I must inquire about the timeline for this Gantt Chart. Is it only restricted to showing one full year in a single view (without scrolling)? I tend to do projects spanning a few years and would like to compress these years on a single page for reports and powerpoint slides. Is there a possible way to do this on your program? Any help would be great!
Sorry guys, could someone tell me how do I set up a timeline to use for a History class. For example: let's say I want to draw a timelinet he prominent date that brought to the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire, how do I do that? How basically work with way back dates?
Thanks for the program, it looks nice and the tutorial is great! I guess downloads for version 2.5 (382 so far) are low because of a low visibility, but once people start finding out, downloads will increase. I am a Java developer myself and am planning to take a year off within half a year to work on some ideas. I might then have some time free to help on your project if you like.
I especially liked the "HOW" parts of the presentation. Most product demonstrations are filled with all sorts of "Look at what this can do..." without the "how." Frustrating
Great tool - but I can't figure out how to create a new project - it only allows uncategorized and "Software Development" - I have tried everything I can possibly find and click on but get no options to be able to do it - at approx 3.25-3.40 mins in your video you add a project and when you click next it is completely different to how the current version behaves.
I have been trialling this, I've added holidays for my resources but in the Gantt chart the resources are still assigned to work on days they are on holiday. Anyone know why this is?
IST302 save some time: The project finish date is updated automatically as the project is expanded upon - TRUE When adding human resources to the project, GanttProject assumes that they have wknds off, ppl are automatically grayed out on wknds - TRUE Resources are considered the software and objects needed to finish the project - FALSE A Pert Chart is a pie chart - FALSE GanttProject only saves as Microsoft Project Files - FALSE 10/10 confirmation from me. This class is going to be a pain in the ass just like 301 with crappy tests and superficial lessons it seems.... Good luck everyone.
Mark, my version does not allow me to create new resourses. The role field pulldown only allows either unknown of project manager. what do i need to do to unlock that field?
Дмитрий здравствуйте! Волею судьбы переехал на Убунту. И пришлось менять инструмент ведения проектов. При импорте файла *mpp в программу GanttProject у меня получается совершенно пустое левое табличное поле. Причем и задач и ресурсов. Уже пробовал и в xml импортировать/экспортировать .. не выходит каменный цветок. MSP-2007 был (вернее пока есть) В виртуалке не хочется сидеть с MSP. Можете подсказать есть ли решение?

Thank you for the tutorial. Worth watching at 1.5 speed, faster and still understandable.
I think that 1.25 speed suits the Video better than 1.5 speed.
A very clear, well-produced presentation. And Mark's voice is especially appealing: soothing and encouraging! Thanks.
Great job , for now I do have Ms project, but still using Ganttproject for its simplicity, intuitiveness, clarity. Keep going.

He's clear, concise and has perfect diction. Perfect for tutorials.
I wish all tutorials were this useful and clear.
Well done tutorial Mark Portnell. Thank you for taking the effort to put it together.

I just downloaded the software and had know idea how to use it. This helped a lot. Thank you!

This is an amazing open source tool to manage the project. Between product is well presented.
Thanks alot
Thank you so much for your excellent overview tutorial. Your explanations are clear and concise and your video is very well done. Please do more!
Excellent and clear tutorial. Much appreciated.
Great explanation even for non-natives :) This will help me with my practical task and will recommend it to my class mates. Thank you!
Very useful for getting started with GanttProject.
Useful introduction covering the key elements - thanks! I feel much more confident about using the software now.
Thanks for the video.

Thank you very much! The video was so helpful!!!
You have explained the process much better than my teacher in university :)
thanks for watching? THANKS FOR LOADING. thank you mark. keep up the good work.
hey this was GREAT! I am very excited about this software (as I am a new project coordinator taking on a massive project) and this tutorial was very helpful. Worth every minute. I hope you got an 'A' on this assignment, Mark.
You, sir, are my hero. Bravo.
A really useful starters guide to the software.
Very Well Done intro video simple, clean, straight forward and easy to understand!
Great Job!!
A very clear explanation for a beginner like me.
Thank you very much. :)

Export the graph as a JPEG or PNG. Under "Project" go to "Export" and select the bullet for "Raster Image File"
I was loving everything so far and then he said task durations cannot be shorter than a day. Is there any way around this, for construction scheduling.
Excellent turorial that enabled me to deside if I wanted to use the software! - And I did :)

This looks like a great tool. I'm going to try it out. Thanks for the video and the tool.
How can I make sure that the chart displays my project start date as Day 1 by default without zooming in/out or sliding the column bar?
Thanks Mark! Great intro straight to the point!
thank you Dmitry , very informative and helpful , you are the best

Thank you so much for this!
Thanks for the video! Anyway, can I use it online? like, for update in real time and share it with another users? Thankyou
Excellent tutorial. Thank you
It's very useful. Thank you very much.
Thanks for the tutorial. It was really helpful.

Congratulations, great software and great presentation. I willl start using it.
very good introduction to this MS project alternative, available for MAC !
Hi, i would like to know how to work with the collaborate mode. i still cant understand how that works
Thanks for the program, it looks nice and the tutorial is great! I guess downloads for version 2.5 (382 so far) are low because of a low visibility, but once people start finding out, downloads will increase. I am a Java developer myself and am planning to take a year off within half a year to work on some ideas. I might then have some time free to help on your project if you like.
how make for instance a reacuring task? e.g. weekly meeting on monday?
great tutorial, now I can start working on my project
very well done, in my opinion the best tutorial.
Thank you, phenomenal eloquence
Thanks Dmitry - really helpful.
Appreciate it! Very helpful and informative. Thanks and keep it up!
Well done Mark!
I especially liked the "HOW" parts of the presentation. Most product demonstrations are filled with all sorts of "Look at what this can do..." without the "how." Frustrating
Still cannot understand why there is no written Manual...
Dmitry, Thak you very much!!!
Great tool - but I can't figure out how to create a new project - it only allows uncategorized and "Software Development" - I have tried everything I can possibly find and click on but get no options to be able to do it - at approx 3.25-3.40 mins in your video you add a project and when you click next it is completely different to how the current version behaves.
I have been trialling this, I've added holidays for my resources but in the Gantt chart the resources are still assigned to work on days they are on holiday. Anyone know why this is?
Looks like it doesn't have the functionality to add holiday or level resources. Not much use a product then really - I'll stick with MS Project.
Do a feature request in the Issues Tab in the Github Project Page.
Can you copy a bulk set of tasks from an excel list or do you have to enter each one separately
IST302 save some time:
The project finish date is updated automatically as the project is expanded upon - TRUE
When adding human resources to the project, GanttProject assumes that they have wknds off, ppl are automatically grayed out on wknds - TRUE
Resources are considered the software and objects needed to finish the project - FALSE
A Pert Chart is a pie chart - FALSE
GanttProject only saves as Microsoft Project Files - FALSE
10/10 confirmation from me. This class is going to be a pain in the ass just like 301 with crappy tests and superficial lessons it seems.... Good luck everyone.
I WORSHIP AT THE ALTAR OF THE PORTMEISTER.
I have the same question on changing the dates on the calendar pane so it starts from the beginning of the project??
Дмитрий, спасибо за хороший продукт, но почему же нет российского календаря праздников? Пожалуйста, добавьте!
Mark, my version does not allow me to create new resourses. The role field pulldown only allows either unknown of project manager. what do i need to do to unlock that field?
Thanks so much for this cool software and tutorial.
Very useful and clear for beginners
thanks for a very helpful tutorial
Clear Enough :) Thank you Sir.
Im using in it and its very nice, thanks
Great job, thanx for the tutorial :-)
@iluvworldofwarcraf what about doing snapshots of your final document to integrate it to your PPT.
Extremely handy!
