Keep risks, decisions and questions on the plan.

What you get

Notes, part by part.

01

A type, an owner and a due date

Each note is a Note, Risk, Decision or Question, with its own badge and colour. Name an owner and a due date: the due chip turns amber on the day and red once it is late. A resolved note stays in grey.

02

One queue for everything open

Plan insights → Notes lists the notes on the chart. Filter by Open, Mine, Overdue or Resolved. Late notes, notes due today and critical or high risks come first, under Needs attention.

03

Talk it through on the note

A public note keeps a short thread of replies with each author and time, so the answer stays next to the question. An issue key in the text, such as PAY-253, links to that issue's bar.

04

Mark a period across the chart

Turn on Show as a period across the chart for a note placed on the chart. Its dates are shaded behind every bar, so a code freeze or a holiday is in view on every row.

Drawn by Ganttry

Notes go out with the export.

This figure is the app's own export renderer, as a vector. With Show notes ticked, PNG and PDF exports draw the public notes and their period bands. Private notes are never exported.

Good to know

Notes stay in Ganttry

Notes and replies never write to Jira. Adding, editing and resolving a note changes only Ganttry's plan.

Public or private

A public note is visible to everyone who can open the chart. A private note is visible only to you, takes no replies and is never exported.

Issue security applies

A note attached to an issue, and its replies, are hidden from anyone who cannot see that issue in Jira.

Everyone sees the same notes

Avatars beside Publish show who has the chart open. A note you save reaches everyone on the same branch without a reload.
