Why does the GANTT chart keeps adjusting itself when resources update the actual time?
I'm trying to have a "road map" (GANTT chart) view for my team current's sprint plan.
Once I have completed the planning, I have seen that the planned effort, say for 90 h appx. for one of the stories (with some handful of tasks underneath) it starts on 18th of Feb and ends on 10th of Mar.
Once the resources have updated the actual efforts to these tasks, when I see the road map again, the "road map" which earlier showed the end date as 10th of Mar, is now showing 09th of Mar. And this is because the initial task, which is now completed (because of adding 8h (actual)/ 8h (estimated)), it actually shrinks to the start date in the map view and the second activity which in the initial plan started on 19th of Feb, now starts on 18th of Feb.
When I tried to see how this works on adding more actual efforts, the road map further gets pulled further and the end date gets advanced. But in reality that's not the case as the actual efforts are still inline with the planned efforts.
Is there any way to see the road map frozen with planned efforts as it is and the actuals getting updated along side the planned effort?
One answer
In RTC, the GANTT chart is, unlike im MS Project, dynamically calculated from the work item data. So if a user changes some data, this will influence the chart.
If you want a frozen chart, create a plan snapshot. You can show the plan snapshot in parallel to the current plan.
