Convert MPP to GAN

Understanding MPP and GAN file formats

The MPP file format is primarily associated with Microsoft Project, a project management software used for planning, organizing, and managing tasks. MPP files contain project data such as tasks, resources, timelines, and schedules.

On the other hand, the GAN file format is used by GanttProject, an open-source project management tool. GAN files store project information in a format that supports Gantt charts, which are used to visualize project schedules and timelines.

How to convert MPP to GAN

Converting an MPP file to a GAN file involves transferring project data from Microsoft Project to GanttProject. This conversion is necessary when you want to use GanttProject to manage a project initially created in Microsoft Project.

Best software for MPP to GAN conversion

The most effective way to convert MPP files to GAN is by using GanttProject itself, as it supports importing MPP files directly. Here’s how you can do it:

• Open GanttProject.
• Go to File → Import → Microsoft Project.
• Select the MPP file you wish to convert.
• Once imported, save the project as a GAN file by selecting File → Save As and choosing the GAN format.

Using GanttProject ensures that the project data is accurately transferred and formatted for use within the application.
