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.
Atlassian Forge · Jira Cloud
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.
Planning that stays in Jira — without turning your backlog into a draft graveyard.
Most Gantt tools assume the work already exists. Sketch the timeline, dependencies, and dates first — push to Jira only when the plan is solid.
Explore “what if” scenarios, move dates, and rebuild dependencies — without flooding your project with draft issues.
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.
A Forge app inside your Cloud site — PreGantt project tab or global Apps menu, synced with Jira work items.
Global, plan, or resource calendars — weekends and holidays stay off the timeline so durations match reality.
Run workshops, model options, sketch portfolios — no mandatory step toward issue creation.
Transfer approved rows into real Jira issues and keep linked work in sync with the plan.
