Agile Gantt Chart Template

If you're working in an Agile environment, where tasks are assigned to specific sprints rather than scheduled for specific dates, Structure.Gantt's sprint planning feature makes it easy to visualize and plan epics and stories across multiple projects.

The easiest way to get started is with our Agile Gantt Chart template.

Open the Agile Gantt Chart Wizard

To open the wizard, go to the top Structure menu and click Create Structure.

Select the Agile Gantt Chart template and click Next.

Select Your Gantt Chart Options

On the following screen, you'll customize your chart.

Scrum Boards

You can add issues from any board you have permissions for. Simply click the Scrum Boards field, locate the board you want to add, and click it. You can include as many boards as you need.

Planning Level

You can select from the following options when creating your Agile Gantt Chart:

• Stories only - adds all issues except epics and sub-tasks, placing them all at the same level within your chart.
• Stories under epics - adds stories (everything except epics and sub-tasks) beneath their respective epics in your chart.
• Advanced Roadmaps - if Atlassian Advanced Roadmaps (formerly Portfolio) is installed, this will add any Advanced Roadmaps levels above epics.

Resources

Structure.Gantt allows you to track your resource requirements throughout a project, so you can see at a glance when resources are over-tasked or available for additional work.

If you wish to track resource allocation, check the Track Resource Allocation box and select the Resource Field that should be used to assign resources to your tasks. You can choose from a variety of Jira fields or use a custom field or formula. Many of our customers use the Assignee field or a custom Team field.

Sharing

In the Share With section, select who the chart should be shared with. Only the people you select will have access to view the structure and Gantt chart you create. You can change or customize these settings later in Structure Permissions.

Create Your Gantt Chart

Once you've selected your options, click the Create Structure and Gantt chart button. Your new chart will be constructed using Structure's powerful /wiki/spaces/structure/pages/3667886369 feature. If you need to make changes to the issues included in your chart or how they are arranged, you can /wiki/spaces/structure/pages/3667893556 later.

Issues will automatically be scheduled in your Gantt chart based on a 2-week estimate for future sprints and a custom Gantt configuration with the following settings:

• Work estimates are based on Story Points, with Time Tracking enabled if no Story Points data is available.
• The standard 40 hours/week calendar is used, unless there is no "Standard" calendar found.

To view or change these settings, see Gantt Configuration.
