Description

Microsoft Planner has introduced exciting new tools and features designed specifically for team leaders. Users now have the ability to establish necessary custom fields within a single plan and seamlessly duplicate them across multiple plans. Additionally, they can view the latest run time and status for OneDrive or local backups. Tasks can be easily copied or moved from one plan to another by simply selecting the desired destination plan name. There's also the option to archive Planner tasks within a SharePoint List, allowing for archived plans and their tasks to be viewed in a read-only format. The Power BI reporting pack enables users to develop dynamic dashboards for Microsoft Planner by consistently updating data to keep the dashboards current. Furthermore, users can schedule automatic backups of their plans and tasks as Excel files to OneDrive or a local folder, which can be utilized to recreate Plans and Tasks through the Planner Manager. The task movement feature allows users to transfer tasks between plans along with all associated attachments and conversations. They can also export and import tasks using Excel, and create plan templates to easily initiate new plans from scratch, enhancing overall productivity and collaboration within teams. This comprehensive set of tools empowers team leaders to manage their projects more effectively than ever before.

Description

Gantt Chart Maker (Timeline Task Planner) is a native Windows Excel-based app that transforms Microsoft Excel into an offline project scheduling engine. Built for engineers, developers, and technical project leads who require deterministic schedule calculations without sending sensitive project data to third-party web servers, the software executes entirely within the local desktop environment. Instead of relying on fragile grid formulas or web wrappers, the add-in hooks directly into Excel’s native architecture. It processes task lists into dynamic Gantt charts with automated dependency cascading across four standard link types: Finish-to-Start (FS), Start-to-Start (SS), Finish-to-Finish (FF), and Start-to-Finish (SF). An internal calculation module accounts for custom working schedules, non-working days, and corporate holiday lists to compute accurate net durations across complex task networks. Key technical capabilities include baseline locking for schedule variance analysis, multi-scale timeline grids (Daily to Yearly with ISO week numbering), and high-density vector PDF rendering via Excel’s native print engine. Data persistence relies strictly on standard .xlsx workbooks and local or network-mapped Microsoft Access (.accdb) databases, ensuring zero network transport of confidential project metadata. Available via the Microsoft Store and the Microsoft Marketplace, Gantt Chart Maker provides a lightweight, and enterprise-deployable scheduling tool for Windows 10 and 11 environments.
