I'm trying to use this to visualise home projects (and comminucate to SWMBO how they are going) - these are all "I do them as I get time" so I'm not bothered about calendars, planned durations, etc. Ideally I just want to be able to enter that a task was started on a specific date and how far through it is.

Basically, I'm looking to have a chart on the wall showing the tasks (and dependencies), and for those I've got to, when they were started and how far through they are/when they were finished.

Is this possible ? More to the point, is it possible without a lot of work ?
