Gantt Chart

A Gantt chart is a project management tool that shows the duration of tasks on a visual project schedule to allow project managers to track progress. It has two main parts, a task list on the left side and a project timeline on the right.

Task name: Briefly describe your task. You can also add more task details using other project views such as kanban boards and task lists.

Task owner: Assign tasks to team members.

Task priority: Set a priority level for all your project tasks so you can better allocate your resources.

Due dates: Add planned start and planned finish dates and adjust them at any time by dragging and dropping tasks on the Gantt timeline. You can also compare planned vs. actual task duration.

Task dependencies: You can also show the task dependencies in number form. Choose the “Linked From” column in the column settings.

Percent complete: A figure, mostly always based on an educated guess by the project team, of how much work they have done and how much is still to do.

Critical path activities: ProjectManager’s Gantt chart maker automatically identifies the critical path based on your project task list, dependencies and due dates.
