Projects - Gant chart and Timeline overview

I love to see Projects, not just a task list also with the possibility to use a Gant chart and visualise all tasks in a  timeline.
Both in Projects and Campaign would replace the need for Monday or similar SaaS tools for marketing planning. 
Would be great in using the function of the projects for Product Marketing and sync all our product launches in one tool! 

The elements within a Gantt chart can be grouped into four categories: resources, milestones, tasks, and dependencies.

  • Resources: Project managers must have insight into what resources are needed for tasks outlined in a Gantt chart, in order for each to be completed on time.
  • Milestones: Along your timeline, there will likely be milestones, both small and large, that must be hit in order to keep your project on track. A milestone for a blog launch might be, “Blog post draft due on 5/30.
  • Tasks: There are specific things that need to be completed along the way of your project. In our blog post example, a task might be, “Edit blog post.
  • Dependencies: Tasks on your Gantt chart will be related to each other, for example, the editor won’t be able to complete her task of editing the blog post until the writer has met their milestone and submitted their draft on 5/30. These are dependencies and should be noted in your chart.

Fully agree! we also like to work with a perpsective model where a project can be generated so we can add onboarding timelines and technical dependencies and timelines into a chart. Something visual that would fit both on a deal card and or a ticket would be amazing.

Projects today is pretty useless - this would completely change that.

Projects need to be visible as a plan on a giant chart or within a calendar view. Would make this feature great as opposed to useless
