# Gantt chart in projects Tracker
Gantt charts for Tracker projects show [issues within the associated project](https://yandex.com.tr/support/tracker/en/manager/project-list.md#issue-actions) and the [links between them](https://yandex.com.tr/support/tracker/en/manager/create-project.md#links).
## Creating a chart {#sec_project}
To go to the Gantt chart:
1. In the [left-hand panel](https://tracker.yandex.com), select **Projects** or follow the [direct link](https://tracker.yandex.com/pages/projects/list) and open the project page.
1.
Go to the **Gantt chart** tab.
* The [list of issues](#tasks-view) in the left part of the chart displays the priority, type, and name for each issue.
* The start and end dates for the issues are shown on the chart as bars plotted along the time axis. The beginning of each bar corresponds to the issue's start date, and its end corresponds to the deadline, that is, the date by which the issue should be completed.
* The arrows between issues mean the _Depends on – Blocks_ links.
1.
To change the time scale, select **Week**, **Month**, or **Quarter** in the bottom right corner of the chart. The scale settings persist after refreshing the page or opening the chart again.
## Updating links between issues {#links}
The Gantt chart shows **Depends on – Blocks** issue links, provided that the **Start date** and **Deadline** fields are filled in for both issues and the **Show blocking links** option is enabled for the chart. Links appear as an arrow pointing from the dependent issue to the blocking issue.
You can edit issue links on the Gantt chart.
* To add a **Depends on – Blocks** [link](https://yandex.com.tr/support/tracker/en/user/ticket-links.md), hover over the issue bar until dots appear to the right and left of the bar.
* To make the selected issue dependent, click the dot on the left and drag it to the blocking issue.
* To make the selected issue blocking, click the dot on the right and drag it to the dependent issue.
{% note info "" %}
If the dependent issue deadline is earlier than that of the blocking issue, the arrow is red. You can enable [automatic update of start dates and deadlines](#timing) for dependent issues.
{% endnote %}
* To delete a link between issues, click the link arrow and then click **Delete link**.
* If an issue has blockers outside the current project, you will see the icon with their number to the left of the issue bar.
* To enable displaying external blockers in the issue list, go to [](../_assets/svg/gantt-settings-button.svg) **Chart settings** → **Show external blockers**.
* External blockers are highlighted in gray and can be found under the dependent issue in the issue list. If you enable [displaying issues as a hierarchy](#trees), blockers are shown under an issue branch. You cannot move external blockers in the list, but you can still open and edit them.
* You can [change](#timing) the start date and deadline of external blockers.
* To delete links between external blockers and their dependent issues, click , and then **Delete link**.
## Changing issue deadlines {#timing}
* To set an issue's start date and deadline:
* Fill in the **Start date** and **Deadline** fields in the issue card.
* Drag the issue bar on the chart to fill in the **Start date** and **Deadline** fields automatically.
* To shift the start date and deadline by the same value, drag the bar along the time access.
* To change the issue duration, drag the left edge of the bar (the start date) or the right edge of the bar (deadline).
* To set up automatic update of start dates and deadlines for dependent issues, go to **Chart settings** and select **Automatically move the deadline of the dependent issue when the blocking issue deadline changes**. If the deadline of the blocking issue is later than the start date of the dependent issue, this start date is shifted based on the blocking issue's new deadline.
* If no deadline is set for the parent issue, a hint (blue bar) is displayed next to it on the chart depending on the deadlines of all sub-issues.
## Assigning an issue {#assigned}
On the Gantt chart, you can appoint or change the issue's assignee:
1. Click on the issue bar.
1. Enter the name of the employee to assign the issue to.
{% note info "" %}
If you do not see the button on the issue bar, go to **Chart settings** and select the **assignee** item in the **Issue bar** section.
{% endnote %}
## Chart settings {#settings}
### Displaying the issue bar {#issue-bar}
Above the timeline on the right, click **Chart settings** and select a setting under **Issue bar**:
* To show the issue name on the issue bar, select the **name** item.
* To show the assignee icon on the issue bar, select the **assignee** item.
* To have the missed deadline property (the difference between the deadline and the current date) highlighted in red on the chart, select **missed deadline**.
### Timeline area {#timeline}
On a chart, you can configure the shift logic for dependent and parent issues, as well as issue link display.
Above the timeline on the right, click **Chart settings** and select a setting in **Issue bar**:
* To have issues with a **Depends on — Blocks** link joined with an arrow on the chart, select **Show blocking links**.
* To automatically move the deadline of the dependent issue when the blocking issue's deadline changes, select the appropriate option.
* To extend the deadline of the parent issue depending on its sub-issues' deadlines, select the appropriate setting.
* To enable displaying external blockers in the issue list, select **Show external blockers**.
### Issue color {#task-color}
{% note info "" %}
Issue color settings are saved at the project chart level, i.e., the selected color scheme applies to all users viewing the chart.
{% endnote %}
By default, issue bars on the chart are colored according to the issue status types set in the [workflow editor](https://yandex.com.tr/support/tracker/en/manager/workflow.md).
{.border-yes}
To select a different color scheme:
1. Above the timeline on the right, click **Chart settings**.
1. Under **Color**, you can choose a color scheme:
{% list tabs %}
- Setting a color manually
This option allows you to set issue colors right on the chart.
1. Select **manual**.
1. Click **Apply**.
Select an issue from the list to the left of the chart and click . This will open a palette where you can set the issue color.
{.border-yes}
- Setting colors based on issue parameters
This option will be of use if you need to differentiate issues by a certain parameter, such as a queue or tag.
1. Select **by issue parameters**.
1. Specify the parameter whose values you want to set colors for.
1. Click **Apply**.
- Monochrome
All issue bars on the chart will be blue.
1. Select **monochrome**.
1. Click **Apply**.
{% endlist %}
### Critical path {#critical-path}
A critical path allows you to assess the risks of failing to meet a project's deadline. Issues with the farthest deadlines will have paths from the blocking issues specified in the project.
To have the critical path displayed, click above the timeline on the right:
- A red line will appear on the timeline. It indicates an interval from the start date of the earliest issue to the deadline of the latest issue.
- The issue with the latest deadline will be highlighted in red. All issues blocking the project's final issues will also be highlighted in red.
To disable critical path display, click once again.
### Baselines {#baselines}
A baseline is a saved version of the project Gantt chart. With its help, you can look back and compare the originally planned deadlines with the current ones. Baselines help to predict the outcome of the project and, retrospectively, understand what can be improved in planning.
To open the project baseline panel, click above the time scale on the right.
#### Creating a baseline {#create-baseline}
Create a baseline when the current deadlines, milestones, and links between issues are laid out on the chart. When creating a baseline, the current deadlines will be saved on the Gantt chart. To create a baseline:
1. On the project baseline panel, click **Create**.
1. By default, the name of the baseline includes the day and month it was created. If required, adjust the name of the baseline and click **Create**.
The baseline will save the current status of issue deadlines in the project. On the baseline panel, you can compare the current deadlines for project issues with those fixed in the baselines: how many days the actual deadlines are ahead or behind the planned ones (for the last issue in the project).
#### Using a baseline {#working-with-baselines}
Baselines can be overlaid on top of the original project Gantt chart. To do this, open the baseline panel and click the baseline. In comparison mode, you can evaluate the differences in the chart:
1. Lag from the fixed deadline for specific issues: when hovering over the issue deadlines in the baseline.
1. Converting an issue to a milestone or vice versa: the appearance of the issue or milestone on the chart will change, and a comment will appear when hovering the cursor.
1. Deleting issues from the project: deadlines of such issues will not be displayed in the comparison mode.
1. Adding new issues to the project: such issues will not have old deadlines fixed.
To turn off comparison mode, hover over and click the highlighted baseline.
