# How to Use the Gantt Chart in ClearCRM Projects

Visualize your entire project timeline — from planning to completion — with one powerful drag-and-drop chart.

The Gantt chart in ClearCRM helps you map out tasks, track progress, and make real-time adjustments to your project timeline. Whether you’re working solo or managing a team, it gives you a visual roadmap of everything happening in your project.

## 🧭 Where to Find It

Go to any project and open the **Gantt** tab from the top navigation bar.

* * *

## 📅 Adjust Your Timeline View

At the top right of the chart, you'll see the **Timeline View** filter. You can adjust how your project is displayed:

-   **Days View** – Ideal for short-term planning
    
-   **Weeks View** – For agile teams
    
-   **Months View** – Best for quarterly or long-term projects
    
-   **Years View** – For multi-year strategies

## 🧱 Group Tasks Visually

Use the **middle filter** to group your tasks by:

-   **Milestones** – See phases like _Planning & Discovery_, _Development_, _Design_, etc.
    
-   **Members** – Visualize who’s working on what
    
-   **Status** – Sort tasks into _Not Started_, _In Progress_, _Testing_, _Awaiting Feedback_, and _Complete_
    

💡 Tasks not linked to any milestone will appear in the **Uncategorized** section — so you don’t lose track of anything.

## 🎯 Filter by Task Status

Want to focus on specific tasks only? Use the **left-side filter** to isolate tasks by their current status.

Example: Select **In Progress** to only display tasks that are actively being worked on.

* * *

## 🖱 Interact with the Gantt Chart

The chart isn’t static — it’s fully interactive:

-   **Hover** over a task to preview its name, duration, and dates
    
-   **Drag & slide** to shift timelines or extend/compress task durations
    
-   **Click** on any task to open its details panel — where you can edit, reassign, tag, add reminders, and more

## 🔄 Why It Matters

The Gantt chart brings your project to life as a **living timeline**. You don’t need separate tools to plan, track, and execute — it’s all in one place and always up to date.
