A Gantt chart or project schedule includes a list of tasks on the left and
horizontal bars on the right showing when the tasks begin and end. In this
Gantt chart, the smallest increment is one week. You can also draw charts with
one hour, day, or month being the smallest incremental value. Gantt charts
show task and schedule information. A Gantt chart is a management tool and a
communications tool. Color or shading is sometimes used to show how much of
each task has been completed. In the Gantt chart shown above the red portion
shows how much of that task is completed.
