Trello doesn't include a native Gantt chart, but pairing it with a dedicated Power-Up lets you visualize project milestones and dependencies without leaving your board. This guide covers enabling a Gantt Power-Up and mapping your cards into a timeline.
01Open the Power-Up directory
On your board, click Power-Ups to access the unified directory of available integrations.
02Add a Gantt chart tool
Search for a certified option such as Planyway, Ganttify, or BigPicture, and add it to your board.
03Sync your card data
Let the tool map your existing card start dates and due dates onto a chronological grid.
04Build task dependencies
Link parent cards to child tasks to establish dependencies and prevent scheduling bottlenecks.
05Customize your chart view
Filter your Gantt view by team member, active list, or priority label to focus on what matters most.
06Adjust for shifting deadlines
Use the tool's rescheduling features to keep your timeline accurate as milestone dates change.
