Type of bar-chart (but horizontal) that shows

both the scheduled and completed work over
a period. A time-scale is given on the chart's
horizontal axis and each activity is shown as
a separate horizontal rectangle (bar) whose
length is proportional to the time required
(or taken) for the activity's completion. In
project planning , these charts show start and
finish
dates,
critical
and
non-critical
activities, slack time, and predecessorsuccessor
relationships.
Also
called
chronogram, it was invented in 1907 by the
US engineer and a scientific-management
pioneer, Henry L. Gantt (1861-1919).

It does not show the sequential relationship

among different activities.
It is not easy to establish which parts, in
sequence dictate the total duration of the project.
It is not easy to use the planning chart for control
once the operation has started
