Version Highlights
Changes in DetailStructure.Gantt becomes a paid appSince its introduction, we have continued to invest in Structure.Gantt — continuously adding new capabilities while also enhancing many of the early features. We feel that with the release of 2.0 we introduce a number of features, which make our Gantt offering uniquely competitive. We believe this warrants a fair price that will enable us to continue investing in its development. You can see the new pricing on the Atlassian Marketplace. Resource LevelingResource Leveling allows you to automatically resolve overallocations for a single resource or group of resources. When run, Resource Leveling identifies overallocation and applies Leveling Delays to tasks in order to resolve it. Documentation: Resource Leveling BaselinesBaselines create a snapshot of the schedule at a specific time, which can then be visualized alongside the current schedule, making it easy to identify differences between a proposed schedule and a project's actual progress. Baselines can be added to the Structure.Gantt gadget and included in a PDF or SVG export. Fix Version Markers for GadgetIt is now possible to include Fix Version in the Structure.Gantt gadget, the same way it can be included when exporting your schedule.

Enterprise Deployment NotesStructure.Gantt 2.0 introduces the Resource Leveling feature that can be important for large installations and Data Center instances. Resource LevelingResource Leveling is an on-demand process to automatically fix over-allocations. It is a CPU- and memory-consuming operation, running in the background for periods starting from a few seconds to dozens of minutes. It is sensitive to structure size, number of resources used and number of over-allocations in the particular schedule. Taking the on-demand nature of Resource Leveling into account, it is difficult to predict how it will impact the performance of a particular installation, because it depends on how many Gantt-enabled structures are there, how large they are and how often users will need to run Resource Leveling for their charts. Being run in parallel, Resource Leveling may have a huge impact on an instance's performance, and as a safeguard we've added several configurable properties:
Testing on a Staging EnvironmentFor high load installations, we advise testing and running Resource Leveling on the most popular Gantt charts and adjusting Resource Leveling using the properties described above. The usual load and stress testing are also recommended. |
