A Gantt chart visualizes time sequences of project completion. Gantt charts are typically used by managers when it is necessary to break down projects into smaller units.
The Gantt chart was created by Charles Gantt in 1917, and its basic structure continues to this day. The parts of a Gantt chart consist of a timeline that runs along the X-axis and a list of tasks or project needs .
running along the Y-axis.
The expected duration of each task is represented by a horizontal bar that runs along the specified time. So, for instance, if "posting videos on the website" is a task that is expected to take three hours, a bar representing three hours of time is shown in the horizontal space corresponding to the task. Furthermore, a Gantt chart allows one to visualize the specific order of completion of various tasks.
