Plan first.
Create issues later.

Preplanning Gantt (PreGantt) lets teams build Gantt-style plans, dependencies, baselines, and calendars in Jira — then transfer work into your project only when the plan is ready.

Why PreGantt

Planning that stays in Jira — without turning your backlog into a draft graveyard.

Plan first.
Create issues later.

Most Gantt tools assume the work already exists. Sketch the timeline, dependencies, and dates first — push to Jira only when the plan is solid.

Keep your
backlog clean

Explore “what if” scenarios, move dates, and rebuild dependencies — without flooding your project with draft issues.

PreGantt plan with a clean backlog — no draft issue clutter

Hourly mode —
plan the whole day

Days are the default. Hours are when it gets real. Enable Hourly mode to place multiple tasks on one day, zoom down to hours, and pin start and end times — so your plan reflects the actual schedule, not a blurry block on Tuesday.

Gantt timeline switching from day-only to hourly precision — hour zoom and time pickers

Native to Jira —
not another tab

A Forge app inside your Cloud site — PreGantt project tab or global Apps menu, synced with Jira work items.

Calendars that respect
working days

Global, plan, or resource calendars — weekends and holidays stay off the timeline so durations match reality.

Gantt timeline with weekends hidden — show only working days

Preplanning,
literally

Run workshops, model options, sketch portfolios — no mandatory step toward issue creation.

Your plan becomes
part of the project

Transfer approved rows into real Jira issues and keep linked work in sync with the plan.
