Project Chart Software

Easy to Use

SmartDraw makes it easy to add dates, tasks, and assign responsibilities. Your project chart will automatically generate the necessary bars based on the information you enter. You can easily add milestones and dependencies.

Easy to Switch Views

SmartDraw makes managing projects easier by letting you switch among different views of your project—the traditional Gantt chart view and a hierarchical view of all the tasks in a mind map view. This makes it easy to first brainstorm tasks in a meeting and then turn that brainstorm into actionable tasks for your team and manage deadlines.

Easy to Manage

To help manage even the largest of project charts, SmartDraw's floating toolbar lets you control the level of detail you see and helps you scroll through large charts.

Easy to Organize

With SmartDraw, you can group related tasks quickly using one-click controls and the length of the parent task will reflect the length of all the child tasks automatically.

Easy to Customize

You can control how days and holidays are displayed on your chart with just a few clicks. You can choose the time frame, holidays, and even choose which columns you want to display on your chart.

Easy to Add to Trello^®

SmartDraw lets you assign tasks and track their progress using your Gantt chart, but you can also quickly convert any task into a card on your team's Trello^® board with SmartDraw's powerful Trello integration. Changes to the Trello^® cards are reflected in your project chart the next time you open it. So when a team member marks a Trello^® card as complete, the project manager will see this in the SmartDraw project chart. Likewise, changes to the project chart, like task due dates, are reflected in the Trello^® card in real time.
