What is a Gantt Chart?
A Gantt chart is a visual planning tool used in project management to outline tasks along a timeline. It is similar to a train schedule, where tracks and stations are laid out, but instead, it presents task durations, dependencies, and milestones with clarity and precision. Each task is represented by a bar that spans a timeline, giving teams an immediate overview of a project from its beginning to its end.
The Gantt chart is popular because it breaks down project plans into actionable, trackable steps. It is widely used in various fields and projects of all sizes because it offers a bird’s-eye view essential in synchronizing tasks and timelines. Using a Gantt chart, you can spot potential overlaps or delays early on and adjust accordingly to ensure smooth progress toward completing the project.
Use Visme's Gantt Chart Maker to organize and visualize your project's progress.
