Gantt chart

A Gantt chart is a type of schedule used in project management. It shows all the different tasks in a project, their duration, deadlines, allowable overruns and interdependencies.

Graphically, it is presented as a frieze. The vertical axis contains the names of tasks or periods, while the calendar extends vertically. The duration of tasks is illustrated by bars, allowing you to see at a glance where the most effort is concentrated.

The Gantt makes project follow-up easier, thanks to its graphical visibility which allows you to intervene in the management of resources and deadlines.
