Calligra Plan—initially known as KPlato—is a project management tool designed to generate Gantt-style diagrams. It forms a component of the Calligra Suite and was formerly bundled within KOffice.
History
The project commenced development in 2004 under the title KPlato (an acronym for K PLAnning TOol), with its inaugural version released in April 2004 as part of KOffice 1.5. In 2010, version 2.2 of KPlato was launched concurrently with KOffice 2.2, featuring integration with the newly introduced Report Designer in Kexi, which succeeded the previous Kugar tool. Later that same year, the application underwent rebranding from KPlato to Plan and shifted from the KOffice environment to become part of Calligra. The release of Calligra Suite 2.4 on 11 April 2012 marked the debut of the software under the Calligra Plan designation.
Subsequent to the 2.4 update, optional file format converters built on Java were incorporated to facilitate compatibility with Microsoft Project and additional formats, thereby improving interoperability for professional users.
