In absolute terms, a manager spends about 12-16 minutes on rescheduling the average group of connected tasks without using GanttChart. GanttChart for ClearQuest allows managers to save a lot of time while preparing plans of work/tasks and exercising operational control over the project. Unfortunately, the standard ClearQuest package does not provide users with such opportunity.

In ClearQuest, planning and representation of tasks is performed in flat view, but all managers are used to using the Gantt chart for planning. ClearQuest is a powerful tool that simplifies this process, but it has its limits. Project managers have often to modify work schedule, update it, establish priorities, and set responsible persons. In most companies we have cooperated with the planning horizon for tasks and works is measured in months and quarters, but not years. The idea to create such solution has emerged as a result of close cooperation with our customers and deep understanding of their business problems. This solution was developed as a result of an effort of both our specialists and our clients. To work with task plan comfortable and as usual. To see their own workload on the whole pool of requests at once (tasks, defects, requests etc). Shifting the groups of tasks and requests (change planned dates) in drag-and-drop mode. Transferring requests from one state to another on-the-fly. Especially within service oriented approach when a great number of requests every day require a special attention. Saving project manager’s time for the replanning of request groups (change requests and extension requests).
