What Is a Gantt Chart?

A Gantt chart is a horizontal bar chart that maps project tasks against a timeline. Each row represents a task; each bar shows when that task starts and ends. Gantt charts are the most widely used project planning tool because they make it immediately clear:

• Which tasks run in parallel and which are sequential
• Where the critical path bottlenecks are
• Which phases overlap (e.g., design starting before discovery ends)
• Whether the timeline is realistic given team capacity

Gantt charts are used in software development, construction, marketing campaigns, product launches, event planning, and any multi-step project with dependencies.
