Live Sync on Gantt module

Remote work or global planning sessions always require an up-to-date data set. Enable this feature, and changes to your tasks made by other team members will be instantly visible. When one of the task's fields is updated, the change will be indicated by highlighting the updated field value presented in Gantt's task lists, and the task will be moved accordingly if the start/end date synchronized fields are updated.

You can set the live sync interval to 1 second as a minimum.

Live Sync on Scope module

Live Sync on Board module
