Usage in Jira Datacenter (Paid version)

Since december of 2023, exist a Paid commercial version of the App with those new features:


👉 The Gantt extract all the issues of the configured Issue filter of the Kanban board (that means, closed issues will appear in the Gantt)

👉 The Gantt is now editable. That means you can drag and drop or extend a task in the Gantt and the dates will be saved, also you can link tasks between with the relation/link-type selected in the header dropdown.

👉 The Gantt is now exportable. That means you can export the Gantt chart in different formats: Microsoft Project, PNG, iCAL, Excel, PDF.

👉 The Gantt is now full-colored. That means the task colors are based in the Epic colors assigned to the Issues represented in the Gantt chart.

👉 The Gantt task has status visible. That means you can see a new column that represent the current status of the task/Issue and it's compatible with the App New Status Colors PRO for Jira Datacenter

👉 A new menu will appear in the Kanban board settings to define the Gantt settings: The Aggregate field (usually "Assignee"), Start date (usually Creation date), End date (usually Updated date) and Link type (usually Blocks)

👉 And more excellent features pending to come! 


First step, go to your Kanban board in Jira and click in "Board" → "Settings" and select the "Easy Kanban Roadmap" tab.

Configure the fields: The Aggregate field (usually "Assignee"), Start date (usually Creation date), End date (usually Updated date) and Link type (usually Blocks)
