Nextedy GANTT is a Gantt chart extension for Siemens Polarion ALM that provides interactive project scheduling, resource management, dependency tracking, and visual timeline planning. It embeds directly into Polarion LiveDoc and Wiki pages as a configurable widget, enabling teams to plan and track work items on a visual timeline without leaving the ALM environment.
Nextedy GANTT delivers standard Polarion widgets, so every Polarion user can access the Gantt widgets. Any Polarion user with the license and permission to edit work items (or Plans) can edit tasks using the Gantt widget. Any Polarion user who can create a LiveDoc report page can configure and set up the Gantt widgets. See Licensing and User Access for setup details.
Yes, the evaluation period is limited to 30 days from the date of installation. If you need more time, contact Nextedy to request an extended time-limited license. Upon expiration, the software automatically disables itself, and you must obtain a license certificate for continued use.
Reach out to Nextedy support before your 30-day evaluation expires to request an extension.
Can I add multiple Work Items Gantt widgets to a single page?
No, currently only one Gantt widget is supported per report page. If you need to display multiple views, create separate Polarion pages for each Gantt widget instance.
What is the difference between Work Items Gantt and Plans Gantt?
Work Items Gantt displays individual Polarion work items as task bars on the Gantt chart, allowing you to schedule, link, and track individual tasks. Plans Gantt displays Polarion Plans as containers, enabling cross-team and release planning views. See Set Up a Basic Gantt Chart and Set Up a Plans Gantt Chart for setup instructions.
Start by installing the extension following the Install Nextedy GANTT tutorial, then explore the demo project to see a working Gantt chart with pre-configured tasks, dependency links, and resources. The Getting Started section walks you through setup step by step.
