A Gantt chart is a popular solution for visualising a project plan over time, showing what work is scheduled to be completed, when, and by whom.
Used correctly, a Gantt chart provides an at-a-glance update on the status of the project and what remains to be done before completion. This includes information related to project subtasks, beginning and ending dates for each task, estimated time-demands for each task, teams and team members responsible for completing each task, the dependency relationships between tasks and how they support the overall project, timelines for meetings and approvals, and a general overview of the project schedule from beginning to end.
Simply put, a Gantt chart is designed to communicate exactly what needs to be done to ensure successful project completion by an established deadline. As such, it is widely used within project management to coordinate teams and resources towards strategic objectives.
