Summary
Currently, the Monday.com Gantt chart rounds task durations to whole days, which can be misleading for teams working with shorter tasks (e.g., 0.5-day tasks or hourly durations). We request the ability to define and visualize tasks in finer time granularity—either in half-day increments or even by hours.
Why This Matters
Many project teams, including software development, marketing, operations, and event planning, work on tasks that last only a few hours or half a day. The inability to set precise durations leads to:
- Misrepresentation of actual workload—a 1.5-day task appears as 2 days, creating confusion.
- Inefficient resource planning—teams cannot accurately allocate work hours.
- Lack of precision in timelines—especially in fast-paced projects where tasks span only a few hours.
Requested Features
- Support for 0.5-day increments in task durations.
- Hourly-based duration setting for better precision.
- Accurate Gantt visualization that reflects real-time allocation.
- Adjustable working hours per task to account for flexible schedules.
Example Use Cases
- Software Development: Sprint tasks that take 4-6 hours but currently display as 1-day tasks.
- Marketing Campaigns: Ad creatives or content approvals that take half a day.
- Operations & Logistics: Scheduling deliveries that happen within specific time windows.
- Event Planning: Tasks that span only a few hours but show as full days.
Conclusion
By implementing sub-day granularity (0.5 days or hours), Monday.com will significantly improve task management accuracy, resource planning, and timeline visualization. We believe this feature would be a valuable enhancement for all teams working with precise scheduling.
Would love to hear from the community and Monday.com team if this is on the roadmap!
