Description
A native Windows COM add-in designed for technical teams, systems analysts, and enterprise IT environments requiring automated process mapping inside desktop Excel without third-party SaaS cloud dependencies.
Local Graph Engine: Implements Sugiyama layered graph drawing and Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) layout algorithms on a native .NET stack (C#, VB.NET, WPF) to calculate node coordinates and route connector paths without shape overlap.
Zero External Cloud Dependencies: All processing and rendering execute 100% locally within the desktop Excel process space. Sensitive operational workflows, process steps, and business logic remain strictly on the local endpoint.
Native Office Object Model: Renders output using standard Microsoft Office shape objects. Generated .xlsx workbooks remain fully editable, shareable, and viewable across Word, PowerPoint, and Excel without requiring recipients to install the add-in.
Dynamic Table Synchronization: Modifying step text, step IDs, or conditional routing in the source table instantly recalculates the visual layout across four cardinal directions (Top-to-Bottom, Bottom-to-Top, Left-to-Right, Right-to-Left).
Enterprise IT Governance: Distributed via the Microsoft Store and Microsoft Commercial Marketplace, supporting tenant-wide deployment, license management, and policy compliance through the Microsoft 365 Admin Center.
Description
Gantt Chart Maker (Timeline Task Planner) is a native Windows Excel-based app that transforms Microsoft Excel into an offline project scheduling engine. Built for engineers, developers, and technical project leads who require deterministic schedule calculations without sending sensitive project data to third-party web servers, the software executes entirely within the local desktop environment.
Instead of relying on fragile grid formulas or web wrappers, the add-in hooks directly into Excel’s native architecture. It processes task lists into dynamic Gantt charts with automated dependency cascading across four standard link types: Finish-to-Start (FS), Start-to-Start (SS), Finish-to-Finish (FF), and Start-to-Finish (SF). An internal calculation module accounts for custom working schedules, non-working days, and corporate holiday lists to compute accurate net durations across complex task networks.
Key technical capabilities include baseline locking for schedule variance analysis, multi-scale timeline grids (Daily to Yearly with ISO week numbering), and high-density vector PDF rendering via Excel’s native print engine. Data persistence relies strictly on standard .xlsx workbooks and local or network-mapped Microsoft Access (.accdb) databases, ensuring zero network transport of confidential project metadata.
Available via the Microsoft Store and the Microsoft Marketplace, Gantt Chart Maker provides a lightweight, and enterprise-deployable scheduling tool for Windows 10 and 11 environments.
