How can a project manager use gantt charts to plan their projects
What is a Gantt chart?
Gantt chart is a specific type of bar chart that
represents the list of activities which have to be
completed during a project’s life span in the form
of bar graphs.
Let’s get into discussing how Gantt
charts make project manager's life
easy

more visual way
● It allows you to visualize how things are planned and
actually see them.
● Everything becomes much clearer and intuitive
● You get to know when to start and finish off a job until you
could move to the next step
Promotes detailed planning
● Gantt charts are only as useful as your clarity about what
activities make the project.
● Any blurred lines or ambiguity in terms of defining the
tasks and subtasks won’t allow you to use this chart to its
full potential.
Helps in discerning the critical path
● Gantt charts help in discerning the critical path of the
project, so you can pay special attention to important
tasks.
Tracks project progress in a quantifiable
manner
● Gantt charts let you know how much progress has been
made and how much more efforts need to be put in until
the project is successfully complete.
● It calculates and tells you how far along you have come in
the form of percentage of completed and pending work.
Helps you set task dependencies
● With Gantt charts, it gets clearer which tasks are
dependent on the completion of which ones
● As you set dependencies between tasks and assign them
to various departments, you can see whose fault was it, in
case the project gets derailed or delayed.
Keeps everybody on the same page
● With access to how the project is heading and how the
progress is being made, everybody stays informed and on
the same page.
● The scope for confusion regarding who was supposed to
do what is minimized to several notches.
