The Gantt Chart currently has checkboxes that allow you to display %complete right within the Gantt bar itself (as well as Project Status, and some other settings).
What is noticeably missing from that drop-down list is the ability to show the name of the Project or Task that is to the left of that Gantt chart bar and know which project or task the bar represents.
With that adjustment, Planners would have the option of reviewing the Gantt Chart without needing the split-screen Name Column to the side of the Gantt Chart that you always have to re-justify from the center of the screen.
