Export & Sharing
Export your Jira Gantt chart to CSV or Excel and share it with anyone
Stakeholders don't always have Jira access. Simple Gantt lets you export your project timeline to CSV or Excel with full control over columns and date formats. Or share a URL that opens your exact view — filters, zoom level, and all — for anyone who does have access.
What you get
- ✓ CSV and Excel export with a clean, standards-compliant format (RFC 4180)
- ✓ Column selection — choose exactly which fields to include in your export
- ✓ Four date format options: ISO (2026-03-15), US (03/15/2026), EU (15/03/2026), Full (March 15, 2026)
- ✓ Export respects active filters — share just the tasks stakeholders care about
- ✓ Shareable URLs that preserve your exact view state: filters, zoom, baseline, and phase collapse state
- ✓ One-click copy to clipboard for both exports and share URLs
Jira Gantt chart export with full control
Open the export dialog, select the columns you want, pick a date format, and download. Simple Gantt generates a clean CSV or Excel file that opens correctly in any spreadsheet application. The export is RFC 4180 compliant with proper Excel encoding, so special characters, commas in task names, and multi-line descriptions all render correctly.
If you have filters active — say you're only showing tasks assigned to a specific team or within a date range — the export includes only those filtered tasks. This makes it easy to create targeted reports for different audiences: export the design phase for the design lead, export the full project for the PMO.
Shareable view URLs for your Jira Gantt chart
Sometimes you don't need to export data — you need a colleague to see the same view you're looking at. Simple Gantt's share feature generates a URL that encodes your current view state: which filters are active, your zoom level, which baseline is selected, which phases are expanded or collapsed, and your scroll position on the timeline.
Click the share button, copy the URL to your clipboard, and paste it into Slack, an email, or a Confluence page. When someone with Jira access opens it, they see exactly what you see. No need to explain "go to the Gantt view, set the filter to sprint 12, zoom to weeks, and scroll to March" — the URL handles all of it.
Date formatting that matches your team's conventions
Different teams and regions use different date formats. Simple Gantt's export supports four options so the output matches what your stakeholders expect. ISO format (2026-03-15) is ideal for data analysis and import into other tools. US format (03/15/2026) and EU format (15/03/2026) match regional conventions. Full format (March 15, 2026) is most readable in reports and presentations.
The date format setting applies to all date columns in the export: start dates, end dates, baseline dates, and any custom date fields you've mapped from Jira.
How teams use export and sharing
Project managers export weekly snapshots for steering committee meetings. The filtered export means they can tailor the report to the audience — executives get a phase-level summary, team leads get the full task list for their area. The CSV format imports directly into tools like Smartsheet, Google Sheets, or Microsoft Project for stakeholders who prefer those tools.
Share URLs are most popular for day-to-day collaboration. A team lead shares a link in Slack that shows just the tasks at risk for the current sprint. A product manager shares a link in a Confluence page that always opens the latest project view. The URL becomes a bookmark that's always up to date.
