Jira Cloud Free and Standard
A Gantt chart in Jira, without upgrading to Premium.
Jira Standard keeps the links between your issues. It does not schedule from them. Ganttry does, on any Jira Cloud plan, and changes Jira only when you publish.
Jira Standard
What Jira gives you, and where it stops.
Already in Jira
- Start date and Due date fields on every issue.
- Issue links such as blocks and is blocked by, so a dependency is recorded.
- A Timeline of epics and the work under them.
Not on Standard
- A successor's dates stay put when its predecessor slips: a link is a label, not a rule.
- No lag between linked issues, and no difference between finish-to-start and start-to-start.
- No critical path, so nothing says which chain of work sets the finish date.
- Plans, the cross-project planning view, comes only with Jira Premium and Enterprise.
Ganttry
What it adds, on any Jira Cloud plan.
- Dependencies that move datesFinish-to-start, start-to-start, finish-to-finish and start-to-finish, with lag in working days. When a predecessor moves, the work after it follows.How it works →
- The critical pathThe chain that sets your finish date, with slack for every issue and the link that placed it.How it works →
- Workload with holidaysHours, story points or percent per person and team, against public holidays and each person's own working week.How it works →
- Release forecastsEvery Jira release judged by the plan's dates and by your team's real pace, with P50, P80 and P95 dates.How it works →
- Reports for people outside JiraA three-page status report PDF, a roadmap picture for slides, an Excel workbook and an MS Project file.How it works →
- Jira changes only when you publishDrag, branch a scenario, keep baselines. Publish lists every changed date and writes only the issues you tick, with your own permissions.How it works →

Start
Your first chart in a few minutes.
- A Jira admin installs Ganttry from the Atlassian Marketplace.

Questions
Before you install.
- Does Ganttry change my Jira issues?
- Only when you publish. Moving bars changes Ganttry's plan; Publish shows each issue whose dates differ from Jira, with both dates, and writes the ones you tick.
- Which Jira plans does it work on?
- Every Jira Cloud plan: Free, Standard, Premium and Enterprise. It is a Forge app and runs on Atlassian; there is no Data Center version.
- What if we move to Premium later?
- Nothing breaks. Ganttry keeps its plans in its own Forge storage and reads Jira the same way on every plan, so it can sit beside Plans.
