Gantt Chart
Gantt chart illustrates a project schedule and the amount of time it would take for any one project to finish.
Overview
A Gantt chart is a type of bar chart, first developed by Karol Adamiecki in 1896, and independently by Henry Gantt in the 1910s, that illustrates a project schedule and the amount of time it would take for any one project to finish.
