GanttPRO vs ZenTao: at a glance
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, naming the feature after the colon. The last ones that clearly announced features, dashboard export with portfolio invitations and a rebuilt list view, landed on 4 August. The October posts are a how-to on custom colours that doesn't say whether the feature is new, and a buy-versus-build article for enterprise Gantt tools. Earlier in the year came a shared board-view link, table reports and an AI Gantt chart maker.
What is ZenTao?
ZenTao posts a 22.0 beta with no notes in the feed.
The only tracked ZenTao entry is the 22.0 beta tag from October 21. It links to a changelog file in the repository and contains no description of what changed.

◆ Current state
This feed announces product changes as how-to posts, naming the feature after the colon. The last ones that clearly announced features, dashboard export with portfolio invitations and a rebuilt list view, landed on 4 August. The October posts are a how-to on custom colours that doesn't say whether the feature is new, and a buy-versus-build article for enterprise Gantt tools. Earlier in the year came a shared board-view link, table reports and an AI Gantt chart maker.
◆ 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 feature post to extend the sharing thread, export or link access for views that lack it, since two of the last three features were about read-only distribution. The October posts are content marketing, so the gap since August means no new feature has appeared in the feed.
ZenTao
2.5PM
ZenTao posts a 22.0 beta with no notes in the feed.
◆ Current state
The only tracked ZenTao entry is the 22.0 beta tag from October 21. It links to a changelog file in the repository and contains no description of what changed.
◆ Where it's heading
A beta of a new major version suggests a larger release is in progress, but nothing in the feed says what it contains.
◆ Prediction
Unclear: the entry does not show what 22.0 changes or when a stable version will follow.
