Google Project Management with
Visualization Gadget



Looking for easy-to-use project management tools online? Do you regularly coordinate task mananagement plans with others? Now you can leverage the power of Google Spreadsheets and Viewpath's scheduling features to create project timelines in a basic Gantt Chart format.
 
Viewpath designed this new "Gantt Gadget" to help project managers easily plan and track project schedules online. There's nothing like having the graphical layout of a Gantt Chart to help a project team simplify decision-making, streamline communication, and provide schedule visibility to other stakeholders – whether they are clients, senior managers, or outside contractors.

With Google's collaborative permissions (built in the Gadget framework) it's simple to control who can read or edit data fields in the spreadsheet. Also, you have the handy option of sharing status updates with others by publishing your Gantt schedule as a Gadget in iGoogle or any other webpage that accommodates iframes.

Viewpath makes it easy to create a Gantt Chart by providing column-chooser menus to specify your spreadsheet data for Task Name, Start Date, Finish Date, and Percentage Complete. Viewpath displays your task schedule using the duration between Start Dates and Finish Dates, and graphically tracks the completion percentage on each task. You also have the option of creating graphical links to show dependencies relationships of Predecessor tasks within a simple Work Breakdown Structure (WBS). The timescale of the Gantt Gadget can quickly be adjusted to display the task schedule in Days, Weeks, Months or Quarters.
