 THE GANTT CHART

• Gantt chart has been named after its developer Henry Gantt.
• A Gantt chart is a type of bar chart that illustrates a project schedule. This chart lists the
tasks to be performed on the vertical axis, and time intervals on the horizontal axis. The width
of the horizontal bars in the graph shows the duration of each activity.
As the project progresses, bars are shaded to show which tasks have been completed.
This is also called Milestones chart and Activity chart. Gantt chart presentation of a project
schedule
. is helpful in planning the utilization of resources.

 THE PURPOSE OF A GANTT CHART

 To illustrate the relationship between project activities and time.

 To show the multiple project activities on one chart.
 To provide a simple way to understand representation of project scheduling.
 View the overall timeline of the project and the expected completion date.
 As the project moves forward with actual performance updated, the Gantt Chart will
adjust simultaneously displaying an up-to-date project schedule with new start and finish
dates for incomplete tasks and record the original baseline of our plan.
There are two methods to create a Gantt Chart:-
1)Using a forward schedule:-
Starting with the list of activities and a given start date
and follow forwards in time until it hits the given deadline.
2)Using a backward schedule:-
Look at the deadline, from that date work in the logical list
of activities.
 Steps to create a Gantt Chart

 Determine project start date and deadline.

 Gather all information surrounding the list of activities within a
project(the work breakdown structure may be useful for this).
 Determine how long each activity will take.
 Evaluate what activities are dependent on others.
 Create graph shell including the timeline and list of activities.
 Using either Forward Scheduling or Backward Scheduling, begin to
add bars ensuring to include dependencies and the full duration for
each activity.
AN EXAMPLE OF A GANTT CHART
THE GRAPH SHELL
Auseful tool for deploying time-based
information within a project.
Very simple to create.
Theyprovide a useful overview of project
activities, a good starting point for
project planning.
The charts are widely used and understood.
Thereexists several PC software packages
that allow us to build Gantt Charts.
 LIMITATIONS

• The Gantt Chart does not explain the reasoning behind the chosen duration
of each activity.
• The Gantt Chart is very difficult to update when changes to the project plan
take place.
• Gantt Charts are difficult to update manually.
• The Charts do not consider project costs or resources.
