With scattered teams across different locations becoming the new normal, project management tools are becoming essential for remote work. At Zoho Projects, we’re always looking for ways to simplify your project management experience. Et voilà! We’ve upgraded and refurbished our Gantt chart feature to include more capabilities, making it easier than ever to work with it. Here’s what you can do with our new Gantt interface.

Time management has been engrained in our brains since we were young. Even when we were in grade school, we had specific times every day when we completed certain tasks, whether it be reading time, math time, lunchtime, or even nap time. Well now it’s a little different, but still essentially the same. Even though we may not have nap time every day (though I’m sure many people wished we did!), we still have certain tasks that need to be completed every day.

In project management, there is a constant struggle at identifying the best approach for work: the classic Waterfall methodology or the more flexible Agile methodology. It’s hard to find an organization that only follows either one of these. Though there may be scrum purists who would revolt against the idea of integrating Waterfall and Agile approaches, a hybrid process is often what many teams prefer.

Productivity often feels too much like a fleeting moment than a focused channel. It’s too tempting to open a new browser tab, check your phone, or (if you’re like me) pace madly around your desk in a reluctance to sit still. Capturing that moment of focus and stretching it as far as you can is the key to finding the productivity groove you’re seeking on a daily basis. Easier said than done, right?

The year is halfway over, and we’ve been hard at work improving your experience with Projects. Say hello to an upgraded Zoho Projects that comes with new and enhanced features to give you a productivity boost. Read on to learn more! Lay it all out – Multiple layouts for projects

If there’s one thing the folks at Zoho Projects have learned all these years, it’s how incredibly diverse you and your companies are. You’ve shown us how creative you can be in the way you use our features and the way you adapt Zoho Projects to fit your teams. We’ve kept this diversity in mind as our product has grown and evolved.

Every task in your project has a life cycle—a series of stages it has to pass through from creation to completion. Manually moving tasks from one stage to another can be cumbersome, more so if many tasks in your project have a similar life cycle. Worse still, having to do it repeatedly can make even exciting tasks look mundane.

Well planned is only half done. Your project’s success depends on how well you execute your plans and how responsive you are to obstacles along the way. Zoho Projects’ Gantt chart gives you a detailed visual of your schedule, with tasks and dependencies clearly defined and plotted. And because nothing is perfect and delays are unavoidable, we’ve come up with two new features that help you predict when tasks can be finished and possible delays, so you can plan ahead.
