What is the Gantt Chart?

A Gantt Chart is a visual project management timeline that consists of horizontal bars, usually color-
coded.

each task will take.
2. Therefore, Gantt charts illustrate the start and finish dates of the terminal elements and
summary elements of a project.
3. In other words, the Gantt chart assembles all pieces of tasks that are relative to a fixed
deadline.

visualize, organize, and manage project timelines, ensuring that tasks are completed on schedule.

done. Also, identify whether some tasks depend on others or they need to be
completed before any other tasks.
 Step 3: Estimate how much time it will take you to complete each task to a level of
quality that has been defined during the requirement elicitation and gathering.
 Step 4: In this step, assign a realistic due date and start dates for each task. You
should analyze whether the task execution will need some extra time or not.

actual timelines.
