Gantt for Goals
R
R C
As my team, and perhaps many others, may transition to Goals, instead of lists, to be the go-to tool for planning projects, I'd like to bring up the possibility of the Gantt feature relating to Goals. I don't use any timeframes on lists, because I treat Spaces as similar to Jira and other issue trackers where they divide work into "projects" (which aren't really projects in the PM sense) to categorize tasks, such as "frontend," "backend" etc. So my lists don't actually start or end, they just group tasks that do. I've been using Goals for sprints and Epics. This makes ClickUp a terrific tool I want to add as it allows great multi-dimensional flexibility.
Another thing that's interesting in Goals right now is they are the only container in ClickUp right now which support a task being in multiple places. There is a huge demand from the community to allow tasks to be in multiple folders ala Wrike and Asana. But you guys actually have this functionality already in Goals!! So this also has leaned me towards using Goals as my main planning tool.
I'm glad that Gantt's are well evolved in ClickUp, but since I don't use lists at all for planning work, I can't take advantage of them. Unless they come to Goals.
Thanks guys!

Building on this discussion.
Being able to view Goals on Roadmaps would be very useful.
Roadmaps work best for “larger” collections of work, call them what you like. Initiatives - which typically are a collection of Epics over a duration of say 6-12 weeks.
Or, Epics, which may span one or more Sprints, though probably no more than 3.
You want to be able to rollup or down, to see the Stories or Tasks below.
At first glance, Gantt view looks ideal, but you quickly hit limitations.
On a Gantt, you can “Group” by Status, Assignee, Pri, Tags - or a custom field… but not by... Goals or Key Results?
Goals as at now are like an afterthought, they are not 1st class citizen for how you think about work.
A useful Roadmap view, to support Portfolio Level Planning, would be:
* 1st level Swimlane “Group” > Objectives
* 2nd level Swimlane “Sub-Group” > Key Results or Targets
Then, Initiatives or Epics, that are related to these goals, with their own dependencies visible, shown on the Roadmap
As at now, creating a relationship between a Key Result & a task at any level of hierarchy, offers no contextual value.

Yes please!! We are struggling to use the Gantt chart functionality because we only want to track large items on the Gannt, and all of our large items are categorized by goals/targets.

Yes I would like Goals to appear in Gantt views, that would be really helpful
