Dependencies and critical path
Link tasks so a slip in one is visible everywhere it matters, and let the chart draw the path that actually decides the end date.
Gantt charts
A Gantt chart that knows what the work looks like.
A Gantt chart drawn in a separate tool is a picture of a plan. It is accurate on the day it is made and wrong by the end of the week, because the work it describes is happening somewhere else. In Ceyu the chart is drawn from the same tasks as the board, the list and the calendar, and those tasks are attached to the canvas the work is being argued about on.
What the chart carries
Bars on a date axis are the easy part. What decides whether a schedule survives contact with a real month is what the chart knows about the work behind each bar.
Milestones and a today marker
The dates you committed to sit on the chart as diamonds, with a line for today, so "are we behind" is a glance rather than a meeting.
Capacity before the promise
Committed work is compared against each person's work calendar, so an over-promised week shows up before you agree to it rather than after you miss it.
A wider timeline too
The Gantt is one project in detail. The timeline covers a longer horizon and answers the other question: how do these six projects overlap, and where is the pinch.
Same tasks as every other view
Board, list, Gantt, timeline and calendar are five views of one set of tasks. Moving a bar moves the task, and the kanban column follows without anyone re-typing it.
Hours and cost attached
Time logged against a task and expenses booked to a project report next to the schedule, so the plan and what it cost are not two separate conversations.
Which plan it is on
The Gantt chart, the timeline and capacity planning start at Pro, $14.99 per user per month or $149.99 per user per year. Plus, at $6.99 monthly, gives you the canvas and the planning suite with unlimited boards and projects and time tracking, but not the Gantt. We would rather say that here than let you find out after signing up.
Questions people ask first
Which Ceyu plan includes the Gantt chart?
The Gantt chart, the wider timeline view and capacity planning are part of the Pro plan, at $14.99 per user per month or $149.99 per user per year. The Plus plan gives you both modules, unlimited boards and projects and time tracking, but not the Gantt.
Does the Gantt chart show dependencies and a critical path?
Yes. Tasks can be linked so a slip in one is visible everywhere it matters, and the chart draws the critical path through them. Milestones sit on the same chart as diamonds, with a marker for today.
What is the difference between the Gantt view and the timeline view?
The Gantt chart is one project in detail: bars, dependencies, the critical path, the plan you show a client. The timeline covers a wider horizon and is for seeing how several projects overlap, which is the question a studio owner asks rather than a project lead.
Can I check whether the plan is realistic before I promise a date?
Capacity planning compares committed work against each person's work calendar, so an over-promised week is visible before it is agreed rather than after it is missed. It is part of the same Pro plan as the Gantt chart.
Put one real schedule on it
Take a project you are already running and rebuild its next milestone here, with the dependencies. If the chart does not tell you something the spreadsheet did not, it is not worth the switch.
