Gantt Excel

Gantt Excel, branded GanttXL, is a Gantt chart template that runs inside Microsoft Excel. It builds project timelines automatically, so people who know Excel can produce a chart with little to learn.

The product is sold as a ready-made workbook rather than a separate application. Daily and hourly planner versions are also offered, alongside a downloadable sample template.

What Gantt Excel offers

• Automated Gantt charts — the workbook draws the chart from the tasks a user enters.
• Daily and hourly planners — versions for scheduling at a finer level of detail.
• Familiar interface — works in Excel, so teams do not need to adopt new software.
• Project overview — shows each step of a project from start to finish.

Who it works with

Project managers and teams that already work in Microsoft Excel and want a lightweight alternative to dedicated project software.
