Project Planning

With InLoox, you create Gantt charts for your project planning. A Gantt chart consists of milestones — specific points in a project timeline — and activities — scheduled phases in a project with a specific start and end date, dependencies and constraints. Multiple activities can be combined to form a summary activity. Activities typically consist of one or more tasks that need to be completed in order to finish the activity.

You can create a project plan manually in InLoox Web App, as described in this section.

However, you have additional options for creating a project plan:

1. Adopt planning elements from a mind map.
2. Create and use planning templates or import planning templates.

Permissions Required

You can only create an InLoox project plan if you have the necessary permissions. You need permissions to Edit Projects and Edit Planning. If you only have permission to Access Projects and Access Planning, you will not be able to create a project plan.
