- a chart in which a series of horizontal lines are used to show the amount of work to be done in a period in time.
This also shows us the dependency relationship between each tasks as well as the time frame where the whole event would be completed. This is particularly useful because big events can be broken down into smaller tasks and everything can be done efficiently. This enables better planning.
In our example Gantt Chart of building a house, a 26 weeks task became a 19 weeks task with Gantt Chart planning. So as shown in that example, by using a Gantt Chart, we can save time because some tasks can actually be done simultaneously.
Top tips for creating a Gantt Chart:
1. Before starting a new Gantt Chart, first list down all the tasks that you'd want completed and the proposed time frame for every task.
2. Colour code each of the task according to each person's responsibility.
3. Ensure that each bar is labelled clearly.
4. Lastly, it is important to ensure that everyone knows how the Gantt Chart works before using it for your tasks! (if not it'd be useless to have a Gantt chart)
