The Project Schedule and Gantt Charts
Project management involves constantly managing multiple tasks and if a deadline is missed the entire project can be affected with potentially serious repercussions. It is therefore helpful to have a visual overview of a project schedule and know when each activity is due to be completed and by whom - this is when you would use a Gantt chart.
Technique Overview
The Project Schedule and Gantt Charts Definition
A Gantt chart is a visual representation of a project plan, showing the project activity against a timeline; it is a tool for planning projects and scheduling project tasks. A Gantt chart can help assess how long a project should take, determine the resources needed, assign accountability and plan the order in which tasks need to be completed. Gantt charts can be used to monitor progress of a project, to ensure the project stays on track, and can be used as a communication tool that can be shared with and be useful to multiple stakeholders.
