Color
An amazing feature of JCVGantt is the ability to synchronize color in both the MindManager and Gantt views.
This effectively allows you to color-code sub-projects automatically.
Changing the coloring of any "task" or "high level" task automatically causes all sub-tasks to follow the same color.
That said, you may still highlight any sub-task with a different color.
Use color broadly and effectively.
It's the difference between a boring chart nobody reads and a chart people put on the wall.
