font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Most people probably think that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binfire.com\/blog\/introduction-gantt-chart-software\/\">Gantt Chart<\/a>\u00a0was developed by Microsoft.\u00a0\u00a0 In fact, the Gantt Chart was released by Henry Gantt in the early 1910s and remains relatively unchanged.\u00a0\u00a0 How is it that a tool that is over 100 years old is still in use when so many other technologies have come and gone during this era?\u00a0 Simply stated, the Gantt Chart remains the best way to visualize and track a project plan.\u00a0\u00a0 A Gantt Chart is probably the best tool to depict:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: disc;\">\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">The start and end date of each task<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Relationships and dependencies between tasks<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">The relationship between planned versus actual time<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">The critical path for a project<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">The entire project plan at a glance<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Every few years, a software company releases a new tool that is supposed to make the Gantt Chart redundant.\u00a0\u00a0 In fact, it has become a cottage industry to predict the demise or irrelevancy of the Gantt Chart.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Below, we have listed 3 good reasons why the Gantt Chart is as useful today as it was in 1910.\u00a0\u00a0 More to the point, I\u2019m also going to show the enhancements to Gantt we are seeing in online project management software (sorry Microsoft).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Gantt Chart for Project Planning and tracking<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Project Management newbies are mystified or even intimidated by the Gantt Chart. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Their assumption (or fear) is that only an experienced Project Manager with formal training can create a large number of multi-colored, overlapping and interconnected bars and lines.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">To create a Gantt Chart, all you need is some paper, a pen, and a steady hand.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Sure, the software helps (and we have even created some useful Gantt Chart templates to start you off), but at the end of the day, you only need to understand three basic things to make a Gantt Chart:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">What are the basic Tasks in the Project Plan?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">How long does each Task take?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Which Tasks need to be completed before another Task to begin?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">If you are can answer these three questions, then it doesn\u2019t matter if you are PMI certified or have the best online project management software in the market.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">At the same time, the Gantt chart is probably the best tool for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binfire.com\/blog\/2019\/01\/project-tracking-guide\/\">project tracking<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">As project advances in time, its current status is updated in real time in the Gantt Chart.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><strong>With Gantt, You Can Map out Dependencies<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">A Project Plan is made up of a number of smaller tasks that are typically performed by a dedicated Project Team.\u00a0\u00a0 If resources were infinite and time was endless, we could simply list the Tasks that need to be done and assign them to skilled experts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">In the real world, everyone on the project team wears multiple hats and in order to get someone assigned to a project, we need to beg, borrow or steal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">The Gantt Chart is a simple way to map out the dependencies between Tasks so that we have one view of which Tasks need to be completed in order for other Tasks to commence.\u00a0\u00a0 For example, often a product team cannot finalize the design of a new feature until they get feedback on a product prototype from customers, or testing can\u2019t start until a given part from the supplier arrives.\u00a0\u00a0 The Gantt Chart will show that Customer Research as a dependency for Product Development and testing is dependent on part delivery by a third party.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><strong>Gantt Visualizes Project Progress for All Stakeholders<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">With Gantt Charts, all stakeholders who need to understand the project progress can see a clear snapshot at any given point.\u00a0\u00a0 Your management cannot be expected to track Tasks individually and need to see the \u201cbig picture.\u201d\u00a0 Team members need both the details of a project plan and also to see how their responsibilities impact the overall group.\u00a0\u00a0 One of the most important thing that a Gantt chart does is to show when a Task is passed its deadline and how this affects the overall plan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">To make project planning easier, you can start with a <a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/blog\/project-management-plan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">project template<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><strong>So what is an Interactive Gantt Chart?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Thanks to online Project Management software such as Binfire<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;
