What is a Gantt Chart?
Gantt charts are specialized timeline visualizations that display project tasks, their durations, and scheduling dependencies on a horizontal timeline. Each task is represented as a horizontal bar positioned according to its start and end dates, making it easy to visualize project schedules, identify critical paths, and spot scheduling conflicts or bottlenecks.
Gantt charts are essential project management tools used across industries to plan, schedule, and monitor projects. They clearly show task sequence, duration, and overlap, helping teams understand resource requirements and identify which tasks are on the critical path. Modern Gantt charts can display milestone markers, dependency links, and progress indicators, making them comprehensive project visualization tools.
