Our users love Placker
“We absolutely love Placker. We have previously used other tools for Gantt charts however it didn't work at all. Also, Trello doesn't give the option to open all boards and work on all projects in one place to make updates.” - Patrycja, Leigh-on-Sea - United Kingdom
“I use trello extensively and have been waiting for ages for a gantt plugin to work. Tried two other ones, but they were very buggy and messy. Placker is intuitive and I have yet to experience any bugs in my trello+placker workflow. Actually I'm so excited I've been telling a bunch of friends and colleagues about it since I tried it out. Will definitely be a long term user.” - Mathias, Norrköping - Sweden
“The best part of Placker for me is that it's become part of my morning routine. I wake up, work out, meditate, and then pull up Placker along with Trello to plan my day. I also really like being able to measure the workload of my people so that they don't get overwhelmed without a specific reason.” - Shannon, United States
