Overview:
I propose adding the option to display
week numbers
in the Gantt chart view within SmartSuite. This feature would provide users with an additional layer of context and facilitate better planning and collaboration, especially for teams that work with week-based schedules or deadlines.
Key Details:
  1. Location:
- Week numbers could be shown in the timeline header alongside or beneath the existing date labels (e.g., month and day).
  1. Configuration Options:
- Allow users to toggle week numbers on or off in the Gantt view settings.
- Support for ISO week numbering (ISO-8601 standard) and regional variations as needed.
  1. Usability:
- Ensure the week numbers are non-intrusive but clearly visible.
- Option to display week numbers on tooltips when hovering over specific dates or tasks.
  1. Benefits:
- Enhances clarity and simplifies communication for teams using week-based planning methods.
- Improves integration with external workflows where week numbers are a standard reference point.
- Provides users with a more detailed and flexible timeline view.
Use Cases:
  • Teams working on quarterly goals where deliverables are tied to specific weeks.
  • Industries such as construction, manufacturing, or education, where week numbers are frequently used for project timelines.
  • Cross-regional collaboration where teams operate on different date formats but rely on week numbers for common understanding.
Conclusion:
Adding week numbers to the Gantt view will make SmartSuite even more versatile and user-friendly, enabling seamless project management for teams operating on week-based schedules. I hope you consider implementing this feature in a future update.
