Polarion is a great tool for tracking requirements and solutions in all stages of development. You can easily track the smallest task and focus on every detail. But sometimes you need to take a look at the whole project – the development of a new machine.
To see the big picture …
Nextedy GANTT at KRONE
Hundreds of Work Items just managing the big tasks and milestones in product development and a timeline covering years can’t be managed one by one. You have to see the big picture. This is where Nextedy GANTT stepped in and gave us a totally different view.
Synchronizing due dates, milestones and timepoints for big projects with many Work Items was nearly impossible. With Nextedy GANTT it became a simple task of drag and drop. To create dependencies you just draw a line – no need to be a Polarion power user, it just works.
With just one widget on one page we got a great view on the whole project.
… without losing the details …
Nextedy GANTT is much more than bars on a timeline. Project managers can easily navigate to single tasks, open the fully customizable sidebar and get or change data without leaving the page.
Even with a timeline covering years you can get detailed information just by hovering the mouse over an item. There is no faster way to get all the information you need to organize teams and tasks.
And with just one click you get to the item with all the details and data which makes Nextedy GANTT a perfect start for developers to get to their tasks.
…just as we want it.
Using Nextedy GANTT is really easy. No need for an expert to get it configured – project managers and team leaders can set it up with a few steps.
At KRONE we like to think one step further. Nextedy GANTT provides many ways to customize the widget to your needs and far beyond that. Sometimes it is the little detail like a dynamic marker in the timeline and sometimes it is a fully customized solution to run a whole department with orders, staff and resources.
