Gantt Chart & Action Plan Ver 2.17

WHAT IS A GANTT CHART?

It can be defined as a Visual Bars chart that shows all of the different tasks/sub-tasks of a project and the interaction relate to each other in terms of time. It can be also interpreted as a Timeline. (Invented by Henry Gantt around 1910 / 1915.)

GANTT CHART ELEMENTS

Attached you will find a List of "Basics" that it needs to include but its not limited to:

Project Start Date

When do you plan to start the execution?

Main & Sub-Tasks

Keep focus in Milestones and Activities that bring you a valor to the project.

Start, Duration & Finish of Tasks

All of them needs to include a life cycle that means Start to finish dates.

How tasks group together, overlap and link with each other it’s also important to be considered.

Project Finish Date

Everything that starts needs to have a finish dates.
