GanttChart for ClearQuest. Testimonials

The major advantage of the GanttChart tool is the ability to graphically represent states of activities. When you have a large number of activities it is difficult to visually represent and estimate them using the grid view only. In such case, a chart is very useful. Another advantage is

the possibility to modify dates of activities in graphic view (i.e. in a chart itself) that simplifies data updating in ClearQuest.

Jesuino Jose de Freitas Neto, IT Executive Manager, Banco do Nordeste do Brazil, Federal 

Bank of Brazil

 This is a usefull and successful solution allowing to simplify a life to ClearQuest users who got used to work with Gantt charts. Visualisation of hierarchy and relationships of change requests of different types allows to accelerate the analysis of a current tasks' status and to make a decision faster. 

Dmitry Lapygine, Rational Technical Specialist, IBM EE/A, SWG Department.

 With GanttChart module my team achieved possibility to plan tasks for  change requests resolving right after acceptance, in the same tool, without any intermediate steps. I recommend this tool as

a rapid-planning extension to all teams, which use ClearQuest. 

Rustam Zaydullin, Lead analyst, SCM Specialist, TatNeft (Oil company).

CM-Consult’s GanttChart is a product that was wanted by many project managers using IBM Rational ClearQuest. It allows executing almost every PM’s task within IBM Rational

ClearQuest in a new and agile way.

Vasily Razuvaykin,  former Rational sales specialist, IBM (2005-2007)
