SharePoint Smart Gantt Chart: Project Management Tool for SharePoint

I've been at many companies that have paid a ton of money to get a simple, but good, project management tool.  It always seemed excessive, so I built a free, open-source SPFx web part that brings project management into SharePoint - backed entirely by native SharePoint lists.

Five views in one web part

• Gantt Chart - drag-and-drop bars, dependency arrows, phase groupings, milestone diamonds, and Day/Week/Month/Quarter zoom levels
• Kanban - drag cards across Not Started / In Progress / On Hold / Completed / Cancelled columns
• List - spreadsheet-style grid with inline status and priority editing, sortable columns
• Dashboard - project summary at a glance
• Portfolio - cross-project overview with health indicators, progress bars, task counts, and a mini timeline. Click any card to jump into that project.

Task features

• Sub-tasks with parent/child hierarchy
• Task dependencies with visual arrows on the Gantt
• Phase grouping (collapsible sections, consistent color per phase)
• % complete progress bar rendered inside Gantt bars
• Milestones rendered as ◆ diamonds
• Automatic health status (On Track / At Risk / Overdue) computed from dates and % complete

Import options

• Excel or CSV (works with exports from MS Project, Asana, Monday.com, Jira)
• Microsoft Planner (buckets → phases, assignees, priority, and % complete all map automatically)

Export options

• Excel - full task list with all fields
• PowerPoint - ready-to-present 4-slide deck with cover, summary, Gantt image, and recent activity
• PNG - full-resolution Gantt chart rendered at 2× with current color and theme settings applied

Each project gets its own SharePoint list - no external database, no app registration required for core features.
