looking for a smart easy tool for Gantt
Asked by Oranit:

Dear Team

As a software development company, we are managing all of our resources, tasks and progress in the Jira.

I need to find the easiest tool that would help me track in the most friendly way:

1. Resource management - company-wide / each project separately

2. Schedule tracking

3. Dependencies and priorities - for example if I need a specific developer in 2 projects for the same time - have some notification that he is occupied and ask me to change the date planned..

4. Budget tracking

5. Friendly view of timeline with what's in progress / done

**Do we have all that in Atlassian?**

What is the cost per user?

It's quite a few different features for one tool - but I would recommend:

* Check out [Advanced Roadmaps](https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/guides/roadmaps/advanced-roadmaps), which is a Jira Premium feature. It can do some of the things you mention above.
* Check out Project Management Apps such as...
  * [BigPicture](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1212259/bigpicture-project-management-ppm?hosting=cloud&tab=overview)
  * [Resource Planning, Gantt Chart, Project Management for Jira](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1223423/resource-planning-gantt-chart-project-management-for-jira?hosting=cloud&tab=overview)
  * [Time Tracking, Timesheet, Resource Planning \& Cost for Jira](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1224927/team-resource-time-tracking-timesheet-cost-management?hosting=cloud&tab=overview)
  * [Tempo's Apps](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/vendors/6558)
  * [Structure](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/34717/structure-by-tempo-project-portfolio-management-for-jira?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) / [Structure Gantt](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1217809/structure-gantt-by-tempo-gantt-charts-roadmaps-for-jira?hosting=cloud&tab=overview)

Quite a few of these Apps will work in conjunction with each other - to help you cover all your requirements in a seamless, connected way.

Or, look for other options which might be of interest on the [Marketplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/) :)

body: Many thanks for the information.

That leads me to farther questions hope that they are clear:

1. Is there a possibility to add a task that is **not** in the projects scope and not included in Jira? Such as - sales / pre sales activities etc, before getting approval and starting developments and product design activity...)

2. Can we set a **baseline** plan and check it during progress in front of the actual timeline and hours spent? (foe example, in Instagantt there is a possibility to mark a plan as the baseline and always compare the current situation to the baseline to see all diviations) if there is such option, where can I find the instructions of how to work with that?

How many 'baselines' can I set per project / sprint?

3. Is there a possibility to share a specific roadmap with client without giving him any access to any other info in the project?

These are just recommendations to review :)

I'd recommend reaching out to each App's vendor separately to ask these questions - they will have the best answers, and potentially be able to provide some demos for you!
