DEPENDENCIES AND MILESTONES
Create dependencies and milestones
Wrike Gantt chart tools allow you to create task dependencies, which will be automatically scheduled after the related task.
Visualizing milestones gives you a better understanding of your project’s progress. Milestones are perfect for marking major events in your project, such as the end of a project phase, important decision points in a project management, or critical events.
COLLABORATION
Share and communicate easily
Wrike’s Gantt chart software makes it easy to share tasks with colleagues using a link. When you adjust assignees, dates, or project duration, your team members will know straight away. Need a hard copy of your online Gantt chart? No problem — simply print it out!

“With Wrike’s timeline view [Gantt chart], the entire planning process can be visualized and adjusted. It’s easy to see how tasks are related to one another. TeamViewer’s marketing squad finds this incredibly useful: depicting the dependencies and status gives you a good overview of what needs to be done and what’s going to happen.”
“The timeline view in Wrike was always really great because you could visualize it, you could simply drag and drop, you could slide the dates over, and you could create dependencies in a graphical way, as opposed to having to go through a bunch of UI. Just being able to literally grab the arrow and drag it was always really helpful.”
“We work faster, update key dates for deliverables much more quickly, and eliminate human error. We’ve likely saved around 200 or more hours per year in our launch prep.”
Power up with our prebuilt Gantt chart templates
A Gantt chart shows activities, tasks, or events displayed against time. Gantt charts allow you to see what activities are involved in your project, when they begin and end, how long they’re scheduled to last, where they overlap with each other, as well as the project start and end dates.
