BigPicture and BigGantt are run-of-the-mill software packages by SoftwarePlant that do not satisfy software notability. These articles were created by a single-purpose account who has made the required conflict of interest declaration for BigGantt but not BigPicture. Google search on both packages shows that they exist, and that they are products of SoftwarePlant, which has a draft in review at Draft:SoftwarePlant, and are marketed via Atlassian. The search for in-depth third-party coverage is unsuccessful.

BigPicture, BigGantt, Draft:SoftwarePlant, and Atlassian appear to be a walled garden under construction. Robert McClenon (talk) 16:34, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Previous speedy tagging was explicitly contested, so relisting this rather than handling as soft deletion.

BigPicture/BigGantt are notable. Yes, there is a number of project management apps out there, but very few PPM apps. There are two PPM apps in Atlassian environment and they are BigPicture/BigGantt. Both are uniqe in the sense that they are built around Gantt chart module, a 'forbidden' thing in the agile times, that have overtaken the project management world since circa 2000. The subject is pretty hermetic, and much of the knowledge gets exchanged during the conferences. These articles were created by multiple-purpose account, see Martin DE (Polish Wikipedia). As for the third-party coverage, see how TechCo Jira review 2019 tells apart BigPicture from "2,000 third-party integrations". Regarding the apparent conflict of interest, I was encouraged to declare it for one article after I wrote it. I happen to know more about the two pieces and the project management world than 99% of the public. Jira links to BigPicture, so I wouldn't call the articles the 'walled garden'. --Martin DE (talk) 14:01, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Added BigGantt and BigPicture to Comparison of project management software to fix the walled garden issue. --Martin DE (talk) 12:36, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
