• Gantt chart creation. The main function allows you to generate Gantt charts from a list of tasks. Each task is represented as a horizontal bar on a timescale, showing its start date, duration, and end date. The position and length of the bars adjust automatically based on the entered data.
• Task dependencies. Establishes dependency relationships between project tasks, such as Finish-to-Start, Start-to-Start, Finish-to-Finish, and Start-to-Finish. These dependencies are visualized with connectors on the chart, and any modification to a predecessor task recalculates the dates of the linked tasks.
• Resource allocation. Allows you to assign human or material resources to specific project tasks. The system tracks the workload of each resource and can identify conflicts when a resource is overallocated across different tasks with overlapping dates.
• Progress tracking. Includes tools to monitor the actual progress of the project compared to the initial plan. Users can record the percentage of completion for each task, which is visually reflected in the Gantt chart through internal shading within the task bars.
• Cost and budget management. Defines an estimated budget and records actual costs for each project task. The application calculates and displays the differences between planned and actual values, providing a financial overview of the project's status.
• Customizable columns. The task grid supports column customization. Users can add, remove, or rearrange columns to display different task attributes, such as notes, priority, or custom fields, adapting the view to their information needs.
• Grouping and filtering. Organizes the display of tasks by grouping them according to different criteria, such as the assigned resource or the project phase. Apply filters to show only a subset of tasks that meet specific conditions, facilitating the analysis of specific parts of the project.
• Drag-and-drop editing. Modify the chart directly using drag-and-drop operations. It is possible to adjust task dates by moving their bars on the timeline or change dependencies by dragging connection points between tasks.
• Critical path calculation. Automatically identifies and highlights the project's critical path. This path consists of the sequence of tasks that determines the total project duration; any delay in a critical path task directly impacts the finish date.
• Data import and export. Exchange project information with other systems. The application allows importing task lists from files and exporting the resulting Gantt chart to image formats or documents for inclusion in reports and presentations.

Development of Quick Gantt Chart began in 2022 by Defined Bytes. The company specializes in creating productivity software for the Windows platform. The application is programmed in C# using the .NET development environment and the Windows App SDK framework. Its design is specifically tailored to integrate with the Windows ecosystem and be distributed through the Microsoft Store.
