What are Gantt Charts in Project management?

A Gantt chart is a visual representation of task distribution over time. Project tasks are shown as rectangles in a timeline table. The position of the rectangle shows the start and end of the task activity. Additionally, a Gantt chart can show talk dependencies and the status of specific tasks. The name of this project management tool comes from its inventor Mr. Henry Gantt.

How to create Gantt Charts?

You can create a Gantt chart using special project planning tools such as Microsoft Project, or general charting tools such as MS Excel. To make your charts more outstanding you can consider enhancing them by additional functional graphics, that will make them eye-catching and will help you to visually focus attention to selected points.
