What is a Gantt chart?

A Gantt chart is a visual planning and control tool for projects that displays tasks over time as horizontal bars. Each bar shows the start, duration, and end of a task, as well as their sequence and interdependencies.

It helps to:

• Understand which tasks are being performed and when
• Track project progress
• Identify the critical path and bottlenecks

Example: if you have a project with phases "Analysis" (May 1-5), "Development" (May 6-20), and "Testing" (May 21-25), the Gantt chart will show these tasks on a timeline, allowing you to see their sequence and duration.
