What is GanttPRO?

GanttPRO ships a quarter's worth of features at a time, filed as blog tutorials.

This feed announces product changes as how-to posts, with the actual feature named after the colon. The two most recent — dashboard export with portfolio invitations, and a rebuilt list view — landed on the same day in August, after a three-month gap since the shared board-view link in May. Behind those sit table reports and an AI Gantt chart maker from March. Cadence is quarterly at best, and the gaps are filled with awards notices and evergreen tutorials.

What is Hive?

Hive is building shared AI automation infrastructure into the core of its PM platform.

Hive is a project management and collaboration platform shipping a parallel track of AI automation infrastructure and traditional planning features. The introduction of shared OAuth connections for Buzz AI Snippets — allowing teams to reuse authenticated external service connections across automation workflows — is the most substantive architectural move in this window. Alongside it, the platform added a configurable Roadmap view in Timeline, capacity context in Resourcing Estimates, and personal reporting dashboards.

GanttPRO vs Hive: editorial side-by-side

G5.0

GanttPRO ships a quarter's worth of features at a time, filed as blog tutorials.

◆ Current state

This feed announces product changes as how-to posts, with the actual feature named after the colon. The two most recent — dashboard export with portfolio invitations, and a rebuilt list view — landed on the same day in August, after a three-month gap since the shared board-view link in May. Behind those sit table reports and an AI Gantt chart maker from March. Cadence is quarterly at best, and the gaps are filled with awards notices and evergreen tutorials.

◆ Where it's heading

Two threads run through the recent work. One is giving people outside the project a way in: shared private links for board view, invitations to portfolios, dashboard export — each aimed at a stakeholder who needs the picture without a seat in the plan. The other is loosening the product's attachment to the chart it is named after, through the list view, board view and table reports. For a tool that sold one visualisation, methodically shipping all the others is the more consequential of the two.

◆ Prediction

Expect the next release to extend the sharing thread — export or link-based access to the views that do not yet have it — since three of the last four features have been about read-only distribution. The March AI chart maker has drawn no follow-up in the entries here, so whether it becomes a line of work or stays a one-off is not something this feed answers.

Hive is building shared AI automation infrastructure into the core of its PM platform.

◆ Current state

Hive is a project management and collaboration platform shipping a parallel track of AI automation infrastructure and traditional planning features. The introduction of shared OAuth connections for Buzz AI Snippets — allowing teams to reuse authenticated external service connections across automation workflows — is the most substantive architectural move in this window. Alongside it, the platform added a configurable Roadmap view in Timeline, capacity context in Resourcing Estimates, and personal reporting dashboards.

◆ Where it's heading

Hive is building toward enterprise-grade agentic workflows: shared credential infrastructure, AI proofing configuration, and automation run visualization all signal investment in automation reliability at scale. The planning surface additions (configurable roadmaps, capacity-aware estimates) suggest positioning for portfolio-level use cases beyond task tracking. The two threads — AI workflow infrastructure and structured planning — are running in parallel rather than converging.

◆ Prediction

The next step is likely deeper integration between Buzz AI Snippets and the planning surface — agents that can read task state, update estimates, or trigger approval workflows based on connected service data.
