What a Gantt chart is
“A Gantt chart is a bar chart that illustrates a project schedule. Modern Gantt charts also show the dependency relationships between activities and the current schedule status.”
Types of Gantt chart
When to use a Gantt chart
New project
Each task is a bar from its start to its end, like a kitchen job from design to splashback.
With a team
Link each task to the one it waits for, like fitting cabinets after they are made, so trades know when to come.
A deadline
The red path shows the tasks that make the whole job late if they slip.
