Henry L. Gantt, an American engineer, and social scientist developed Gantt a chart as a production control tool.\u00a0 Gantt chart is used as a project management tool<\/a>, and it provides graphical illustration of project schedule. As a project management tool, Gantt is helpful to plan, coordinate, and track specific tasks in a project.\u00a0 Gantt charts can be drawn on a graph paper.\u00a0 This can be automated using software applications as well.<\/p>\n

Graphically Gantt chart is represented with two axis i.e. horizontal axis and vertical axis.\u00a0 Horizontal axis represents total time span of the project, broken down into increments and vertical axis represents the tasks that make up the project (task involved like conduct research, choose software and install software).\u00a0 Horizontal bars of varying lengths represent the sequences, timing, and time span for each task.<\/p>\n

From the above graph, let us consider the \u2018Primary Investigation\u2019 and \u2018Write report\u2019 tasks respectively.\u00a0 We would draw the bar line for both the task that represents the amount of time you expect to spend on research.\u00a0 As the task processes \u2018Write report\u2019 task arrowheads or darkened bars may be added to indicate completed tasks, or the portions of tasks that have been completed.\u00a0 A vertical line is used to represent the report date.<\/p>\n

Gantt chart software helps to visually represent the breakdown of tasks in a project over time and proves to be integral to project management. It simultaneously shows a timeline for tasks while also taking into account contingencies between tasks.\u00a0 Gantt charts differ from traditional timeline which are meant to break down workflows, focusing more on the interdependencies between tasks rather than the broad picture.<\/p>\n

There are many popular Gantt chart software\u2019s used.\u00a0 SmartAdminManager.com<\/a> has a tool which helps to review project progress.\u00a0 It is easy to use and it enables project monitoring.\u00a0 It helps in reviewing progress in tasks, and meeting milestones, and is available for the whole project or for any specific task.<\/p>\n

This, Gantt charts help us to give a clear illustration of project status.\u00a0 Automated Gantt charts store more information about tasks, such as the individuals assigned to specific tasks, and notes about the procedures.\u00a0 Gantt charts can be easily changed and can be adjusted frequently to reflect the actual status of project tasks.\u00a0 However, in Gantt charts you cannot tell how one task falling behind schedule affects other tasks.\u00a0 The PERT chart is another popular project management charting method, is designed to do this.<\/p>\n
