Project Gantt View – See Your Projects and Tasks on a Timeline

Lists and kanban boards tell you what needs doing, but not how it all lines up over time. This module adds a Gantt chart view to Odoo projects and tasks, so you can see start and end dates laid out on a timeline, understand how work overlaps, and spot scheduling problems at a glance. Classic project planning, right inside Odoo.


What Does This Module Do?

This module brings a Gantt chart view to your Odoo projects and tasks. A Gantt chart shows work as horizontal bars along a time axis, so each project and task appears with its start and end dates in a single timeline you can read at a glance. The module adds the Gantt-related fields on both the project form and the task form that drive this view, letting you see how items are scheduled and how they line up against one another. It gives your project data the classic timeline representation that project managers expect, without leaving Odoo.

Why Do You Need It?

Planning a project well means understanding timing, not just tasks: what starts when, what runs in parallel, and where the schedule is tight. A plain list or kanban board makes that hard to see – you can’t tell at a glance whether two workstreams overlap or whether a deadline is at risk. A Gantt chart solves this by putting everything on one timeline, which is exactly why it’s been the standard project-planning view for decades. Bringing that view into Odoo means you can plan and communicate schedules visually, see the shape of a project across its whole duration, and catch timing conflicts early – all without exporting data to a separate tool like Microsoft Project. It turns Odoo’s task data into a picture of your plan.

When Should You Use This Module?

This module is for teams running projects in Odoo who need to see and plan work on a timeline. It’s ideal for project managers who think in schedules, for businesses coordinating tasks with dependencies and deadlines, and for anyone who wants Microsoft Project–style Gantt planning inside Odoo rather than in a separate application. If you plan projects with defined start and end dates and want a clear visual overview of how everything fits together over time, this gives you that view. It builds on Odoo Project and uses a Web Gantt View base module to render the chart.

How This Module Works in Practice

Once installed, the module adds the fields needed for the Gantt view onto your project and task forms, so each item carries the scheduling information the timeline uses. Projects and tasks with start and end dates then appear as bars on a Gantt timeline, giving you a clear visual reading of your schedule and how work items relate to one another over time. If you’d like to see it working on a real setup before committing, AlmightyCS can provide demo server access so you can try the functionality yourself.
