What is Gantt?
A Gantt chart is a project management tool that visually represents the timeline of a project, showing the start and end dates of various elements or tasks.
By combining the WBS (Work Breakdown Structure) feature, PlanCore provides a structured and visual approach to project planning and tracking in Jira. By combining the hierarchical organization of a WBS with the timeline-based view of a Gantt chart, teams can organize projects into clear phases and tasks.

Here is a quick overview of the Gantt chart in PlanCore:
