The free, open-source GanttPRO alternative that runs in your SharePoint tenant
GanttPRO is a polished SaaS Gantt tool — clean UI, time tracking, workload, budgets — hosted by the vendor. If you'd rather your project data live in your own SharePoint tenant (and you'd rather not pay per user), SharePoint Smart Gantt Chart gives you the Gantt, Kanban, and list views as a free SPFx web part inside Microsoft 365.

Why we built this
GanttPRO is a good-looking, focused Gantt SaaS. Sign up, get a project URL, share with collaborators. The friction shows up in two places: every project member is a paid seat, and your project data sits in their cloud — not always acceptable for regulated or M365-standardized teams.
SharePoint Online already has the building blocks: lists for tasks, permissions, sharing. What it's missing is a real Gantt control. Smart Gantt Chart is the SPFx web part that fills the gap.
Install once to the tenant app catalog, and any team with Site Member access can plan in Gantt, work in Kanban, edit in a spreadsheet view, and export a four-slide PowerPoint status report — data stays in SharePoint lists the web part creates on the site, and nobody buys a seat.
Free, open source, and ready to use
No sign-up, no subscription, no vendor lock-in. MIT licensed on GitHub.
