A Gantt chart is a type of bar chart that shows the project schedule by listing each task or activity to be performed on the horizontal axis, and the timeline on the vertical axis. Each activity is represented by a horizontal bar, whose length represents the duration of the task, and its position on the timeline indicates when it is scheduled to start and finish. Gantt charts help project managers to visualize the dependencies and sequences of tasks, identify potential bottlenecks, and monitor the progress of the project.
