What is Elegantt
Elegantt is a project management add-on for Trello that provides Gantt charts, timeline views, and workload-style planning based on Trello boards. It targets teams that already manage work in Trello and need scheduling, dependencies, and higher-level planning without migrating to a separate system. The product primarily differentiates through its tight coupling to Trello data and its focus on timeline-based planning on top of card-based workflows.
Native Trello-based planning
Elegantt works directly from Trello boards, lists, and cards, which reduces duplication of project data for Trello-centric teams. This approach supports teams that want timeline planning while keeping execution in Trello. It can fit lightweight PM needs where adopting a separate PPM system would add overhead.
Gantt and timeline visualization
The product adds Gantt-style scheduling and timeline views that are not available in Trello by default. These views help teams see start/end dates, overlaps, and sequencing at a glance. This is useful for communicating schedules to stakeholders who prefer time-based plans over kanban boards.
Dependency-style scheduling support
Elegantt is designed to support planning concepts such as task sequencing and schedule coordination across Trello cards. This can improve predictability for projects that require ordered work rather than purely pull-based flow. It provides a bridge between card-based task management and more traditional project scheduling.
Trello dependency and limits
Because Elegantt relies on Trello as the system of record, its structure and permissions generally follow Trello’s board model. Organizations needing robust portfolio governance, complex resource management, or enterprise controls may find the Trello foundation limiting. Teams not using Trello will not benefit without adopting Trello first.
Portfolio and program depth
Compared with dedicated project, portfolio & program management suites, Trello add-ons typically provide less depth for cross-project financials, benefits tracking, and standardized stage-gate governance. Elegantt is better suited to project-level scheduling than full program/portfolio management. Large PMOs may require additional tooling for reporting and controls.
Vendor details not verifiable
Publicly verifiable corporate information for Elegantt (legal entity name, founding year, and headquarters) is not consistently available from authoritative sources. This can complicate vendor due diligence, procurement, and risk assessment. Buyers may need to request formal documentation (e.g., company registration, security and privacy materials) directly from the seller.
