Gantt chart across multiple boards in monday.com

By Kayabyte

Short answer: put the Gantt widget on a dashboard and connect your boards to it. That gives one chart, within the dashboard’s limit on connected boards. Items across boards can’t always be put in the order you want, and that’s where people get stuck. Below are the steps, the limits, and what to do when you need a date-sorted or hand-ordered roadmap.

Build it with the Gantt widget

monday.com says the Gantt view and widget are available from the Standard plan.

  1. Make sure each board has a Timeline or Date column. People, Status and Dependency columns are optional.
  2. Create a dashboard, or add a dashboard view, and click Connect boards. Choose your boards.
  3. Add a widget and choose Gantt.
  4. In the widget settings, choose the timeline column for each board.
  5. To group, use the Group by option. When you group by a column, Sort options arrange the groups, for example alphabetically.

For a full-screen chart, open the widget’s three-dot menu and choose Dock this widget.

The limits you’ll meet

Ways around them

One chart per group of boards. Split a large portfolio into several dashboards by department or client. Simple, but you lose the single view.

A summary board. One item per project, with mirrored dates, and a Gantt view on that board. It gives you real sorting because it’s a single board. The cost is keeping it up to date by hand, and connection limits per plan.

A marketplace app. Gantt apps differ, so check what each one reads. Going by their listings:

See Portfolio Roadmap & Timeline.

A quick test before you commit

Take your real boards and check three things: does the chart include all of them, can you get the order leadership wants, and can the people who read it open it? The last one often decides it: a dashboard needs a seat or guest access for each reader.

Common questions

Can I show subitems? monday says subitems are supported in the Gantt view and widget. Our app shows items only.

Why are items in a strange order in the dashboard Gantt? Community reports say projects follow creation order. Grouping with sort options can help.

Can I make the left panel wider? That’s another open community request. In our app you can drag it.
