Peak One · Knowledge
Gantt and Kanban answer different questions. The tasks behind them are the same.
A Gantt chart asks „When, and what depends on what?“. A Kanban board asks „Where is the work right now?“. In the demo you see one project in both views.
Step by step
Gantt: time and dependencies
Tasks as bars on a timeline, linked by dependencies. Strong for fixed dates, phases and chains of tasks.
Kanban: flow and status
Tasks as cards in columns such as open, in progress, review, done. Strong for ongoing work, priorities and bottlenecks.
When Gantt helps
Launches, relaunches, events, anything with a fixed end date and tasks that wait on each other.
When Kanban helps
Ongoing production, support, content, anything with a steady inflow and shifting priorities.
WIP limits in Kanban
A cap on cards in a column. Once reached, you finish work before starting something new.
Both at once
Many projects need both: the plan for dates and the board for the day to day. What matters is that both show the same tasks.

Click a task to move its status, then switch views: it is the same task everywhere. Board, list and calendar are available in Peak One, the timeline is beta.
Interactive demo with invented sample data. No account, nothing is saved or sent.
Honest limits
The timeline is beta
Board and list are available in Peak One. The timeline (Gantt) exists in Board V2, part of Work V2, not yet in the app catalog.
The demo shows sample data
The views in the demo run on an invented project in your browser and save nothing.
Frequently asked questions
Is Kanban agile and Gantt classic?
Roughly, but the view is not the method. Agile teams need dates too, and classic teams benefit from a board.
Do I have to pick one view?
No. In Peak One a task is one row that board, list, timeline and calendar show. You change the view, not the data.
What is a WIP limit?
A work in progress limit: the most tasks allowed in a column at the same time. It makes bottlenecks visible.
