The drawing

What a Gantt timeline is.

A Gantt timeline displays dated tasks as bars on a time axis. Lanes group the work by team or workstream, so it is easy to see what overlaps and what is due before a milestone.

It is a schedule view for coordinating dates and handoffs. Add a start date, end date, owner lane and milestone for each important piece of work, then adjust the bars as the plan changes.

FAQ

Common questions

What is a Gantt timeline?

It is a schedule view that places tasks over time and shows their duration, sequence and dependencies.

What information do I need to make one?

Start with task names, estimated durations and the tasks that must finish or start before each one.

What is a dependency?

A dependency is a relationship between tasks, such as testing beginning after the build is complete.

What is the difference between a Gantt chart and PERT?

A Gantt chart emphasizes time-based bars, while PERT emphasizes the dependency network. Both can be generated from the same task and dependency data.
