The most common complaint about WBS Gantt-Chart for Jira isn't features — it's losing work. No autosave, views that reset, charts that vanish after saving. I built SteadyGantt so that losing work is impossible: every draft and every view saves itself, and Jira is only written when you confirm a diff.
Verbatim quotes from public Marketplace reviews, retrieved August 2026. Read them all here.
Each test below recreates an incident from the reviews. Run them during any trial, mine included.
| The test | SteadyGantt | What WBS reviewers reported* |
|---|---|---|
| Drag some bars, close the tab without saving anything. | Come back — your drafts are exactly where you left them. There is no save button to forget. | "Reload the page… you lose all your unsaved work." (Sep 2025) |
| Set up your view — zoom, collapsed groups, column widths — and reopen the page tomorrow. | Restored exactly, on any device. | "The view can not be saved, keep coming back to original." (Sep 2023) |
| Reorganize your hierarchy, then leave and come back. | Structure drafts persist until you apply or discard them. | "The formatting is all gone, the subtasks are back in the general list." (Sep 2020) |
| Plan a short task — a few hours, not days. | Hour-level zoom; bars can be hours long. | "Doesn't allow to input task estimations in hours." (Jul 2019) |
| Check what happens to Jira while you experiment. | Nothing, until you review a diff and confirm — and even then, one-click undo. | "All my issues data, descriptions and notes went missing after using this." (Mar 2021) |
*Reports describe the version in use at the review date; WBS Gantt-Chart may have changed since. Run the tests yourself — the SteadyGantt column works right now in the live demo, no install.

If your organization plans in classic WBS numbering, imports MS Project files, or relies on its templates and row-level mass date updates, WBS Gantt-Chart is built for that workflow and SteadyGantt isn't. SteadyGantt is for teams that want a fast, zero-setup Gantt view that can't lose their work.
Free for teams of 10 or fewer, forever. I answer every mail within 24 hours.
