This manual guides project managers (PMs) through the core workflow of building a WBS in wbsgantt and managing schedules and dependencies with the Gantt chart.

Workflow at a Glance

1. Create a project → 2. Build the WBS tree → 3. Set schedules & dependencies in the Gantt → 4. Enter progress / review the schedule → 5. Export to Excel

Each step is explained in detail in the following sections.

Getting Started — Creating a Project · Templates

Right after you sign up, wbsgantt guides you through creating your first project. You can start the same flow again anytime with the New project button on the project list screen.

1. Enter the basics: type a project name and a code is auto-suggested (editable).
2. Pick a template: choose an industry template or start with an empty project. Click create and you land on the WBS screen with the template already applied.

• Available templates (Korean · English): IT New-Product MVP · In-house Development · SI Delivery · Construction Project · Marketing Campaign — each comes with a pre-built phase structure, weights, and dependencies, so schedule calculation works right away.
• Started empty? Open the gallery with the Start from a template button on the WBS screen to search, preview, and apply one. Applying a whole template is only possible on a project with no tasks yet (empty).

1. Project Overview

This is the first screen you see when you open a project; it gives an at-a-glance view of progress.

• KPI summary: key metrics such as overall progress, estimated duration, and the critical path
• Baseline banner / checklist: items to prepare for setting a baseline and their completion status
• Critical path mini-Gantt: the chain of work that most affects the schedule (includes the "today" line)
• Upcoming milestones: a list of near-term milestones (with D-day)
• Phase distribution: how work is distributed across phases
