This solution was developed as a result of an effort of both our specialists and our clients. The idea to create such solution has emerged as a result of close cooperation with our customers and deep understanding of their business problems. In most companies we have cooperated with the planning horizon for tasks and works is measured in months and quarters, but not years. Project managers have often to modify work schedule, update it, establish priorities, and set responsible persons. ClearQuest is a powerful tool that simplifies this process, but it has its limits. In ClearQuest, planning and representation of tasks is performed in flat view, but all managers are used to using the Gantt chart for planning. Unfortunately, the standard ClearQuest package does not provide users with such opportunity. GanttChart for ClearQuest allows managers to save a lot of time while preparing plans of work/tasks and exercising operational control over the project. In absolute terms, a manager spends about 12-16 minutes on rescheduling the average group of connected tasks without using GanttChart. Using GanttChart for ClearQuest, the same operation takes 10-15 seconds. So, using GanttChart for ClearQuest results in increasing the manager’s efficiency and manageability of the whole project. We are greatly pleased to have gained recognition of our contribution from IBM Corporation"Alexander Novichkov , the general director of CM-Consult

Here are the fundamental capabilities of GanttChart 1.0 for ClearQuest:

Multiplatform. Our module is being incorporated into the Eclipse client of IBM Rational ClearQuest and works on different platforms of Widows and Unix.There is no necessity of additional software. Everything works in one tool - IBM Rational ClearQuest. The exceptions are the functions of budgeting, resource distribution and portfolio management. The only one data source and the synchronization in real time. The module allows showing the real state of projecting activities basing on the last changes in IBM Rational ClearQuest. There is no necessity to make additional synchronization or data duplication for it. All visualization functions are real time.All functions of IBM Rational ClearQuest are still accessible. Because of module embedding into IBM Rational ClearQuest the user has an access to the planning capabilities by Gantt diagram and to all the functions of IBM Rational ClearQuest (building requests, reports, graphs etc) at the same time.
