"A Gantt chart is a project management tool that helps you visualize timelines for your project at a glance. It lists the project tasks that need to be completed down the left column and dates across the top row. A bar represents the duration of each task, so you can see at once when each task will begin and end. The visual makes it easy to plan a project and set realistic delivery dates because you can assign realistic start and finish dates for tasks that are contingent on the completion of other tasks."
"Start by entering your project information into the spreadsheet, like you would for more basic, spreadsheet-based project management. The farthest left column should list the project's tasks, with one row per task. Additional columns should list these details for each task: Start date: When you'll begin working on the task. End date: When you'll finish the task. Duration (number of days): How much time the task requires."
Excel supports Gantt charts that display tasks in rows and dates across columns, using bars to show each task's start, end, and duration. Project tables in the spreadsheet should include task names, start and end dates, and duration in days, with duration computed by subtracting start from end dates. The visual timeline aids planning, scheduling realistic delivery dates, and managing dependencies by showing when tasks begin and end relative to one another. The spreadsheet-like layout makes Excel a natural choice for teams to implement more advanced or agile project-management techniques without purchasing new tools.
