The summary of a work plan, presented in the form of a chart showing the major activities planned in their chronological sequence, as well as the week or month in which they will be conducted and the person responsible for carrying them out. It sometimes includes the resources that will be necessary to carry out the activities.

Simply another name for a 'bar chart'; sometimes called this because it was refined as an instrument for planning by a man named Gantt.

a documentation technique developed by Henry L. Gantt which allows management to visualize work to be performed and scheduled in relation to a calendar. It is a useful tool for determining project schedules, as well as for monitoring actual performance. In this way, it can be used to identify the critical path of a project. Other expressions of a Gantt Chart include "Bar Chart," "Planning Chart," "Milestone Chart" or "Histogram." (See Critical Path).

A chart of a project schedule that shows the order and duration of tasks.

Timeline chart that initially schedules project activities and then monitors those activities over time by comparing planned progress to actual progress.

A timeline chart that shows the schedule of tasks to be completed during the development of a project.

a horizontally oriented bar chart. When the horizontal axis denotes time, as usually it does, the Gantt chart is particularly useful for illustrating work schedules. See also planning board.

Particular type of bar chart showing planned activity against time. Note: 'Gantt chart', although named for a particular type of bar chart, is in current usage as a name for bar charts in general.

A graphic bar chart that shows the relationship between work planned and completed on one axis and time elapsed on the other. Mechanism devised by Henry Gantt who also devised an incentive system that gave workers a bonus for completing their jobs in less time than the allowed standard.

A chart that shows the duration of tasks against the project time-frame. It usually highlights milestones, dependencies and resources associated with particular tasks.

Sometimes called bar charts. A chart that shows a schedule of activities and milestones. Activities are listed on the vertical axis and the time line is shown on the horizontal axis in days or weeks. Activities are shown as horizontal bars with a specifed duration. Dependency relationships between activities are often shown as arrows between activities. Milestones can be shown as a diamond occurring on a specific date.

Graphical representation of activities within a project over time. The duration of each activity is shown as a bar, the ends of which correspond to the start and end date of the activity. See also Bar Chart.

bar chart showing periods of activity with start and end dates. Used in planning project schedules

A chart used to represent a critical path plan, useful for visualizing start and finish dates for each sub-project or stage of the process. See also: Critical Path Planning

The graphical display of scheduled operations by work center or machine along a time horizon. Terms Glossary Definition

Horizontal bar charts showing the duration of tasks and activities that make up a project (e.g.) Microsoft Project generates Gantt Charts as visual representations of elapsed start and end dates.

A matrix of activities and time used to plan, manage and monitor a project.

chart using time line s and other symbols that illustrates multiple, time- base d activities or project s on a horizontal time scale. [D00753] OTOB 271-4 Gantt chart is a time- phase graph ic display of activity duration s. It is also referred to as a bar chart.

A chart (named for Henry Laurence Gantt) that consists of a table of project task information and a bar chart that graphically displays project schedule, depicting progress in relation to time and often used in planning and tracking a project.

A form of bar chart used extensively to show schedules, time frames, and time sequences. See also PERT Chart.

A gantt chart is a bar chart that depicts activities as blocks over time. The beginning and end of the block correspond to the beginning and end-date of the activity.

a diagram that shows tasks and deadlines necessary for completing a project.

A list of activities plotted against time, showing start time, duration, and end time; also known as a bar chart.

A scheduling tool used to display the status of a project's tasks. A Gantt chart shows each task's duration as a horizontal line. The ends of the lines correspond to the task's start and end dates.

It is a visual representation of the schedule showing task start, duration, and completion.

(n.) a diagram used to illustrate a deterministic schedule.

Bar chart that shows graphically the duration, including the start and end dates, of the project's activities, as well as its milestones; can also show the relationships between the project's activities, e.g., the finish of one task before another begins

A chart used for project management to establish and track timelines.

Horizontal bar charts that can graphically depict the time relationship of tasks, activities and resources in a project. Named after Henry Gantt, an industrial engineer who introduced them in the early 1900's.

A bar chart. While visually appealing on a task/duration basis, it is limited because it does not show task or resource relationships well. Its key strength is that it is easy to maintain and read.                   Sample Gantt chart

A bar chart that shows planned work and finished work in relation to time. Each task in a list has a bar corresponding to it. The length of the bar is used to indicate the expected or actual duration of the task.

A time phased bar chart showing planned activity against time

A chart used in project management to plan and track the progress of a project. Time is indicated as columns across the chart, with individual tasks represented as arrows terminating at dots. The length and positions of the arrows show the start date and duration of the tasks. You may also use solid bars rather than arrows terminating in dots.

n. A bar chart that shows individual parts of a project as bars against a horizontal time scale. Gantt charts are used as a project-planning tool for developing schedules. Most project-planning software can produce Gantt charts.

Bar chart that uses horizontal bars that shows project phases or activities, used to plan and schedule the time relationships among project activities. 14.5

A bar chart (histogram) of scheduled tasks. Microsoft Project, and timeline are examples of software using Gantt charts.

A horizontal bar chart used in project scheduling that shows the start date, end date and duration of tasks within the project. Sometimes used in conjunction with a network diagram.

The earliest and best-known type of planning and control chart, especially designed to show graphically the relationship between planned performance and actual performance over time. Named after its originator, Henry L. Gantt, the chart is used (1) for machine loading, in which one horizontal line is used to represent capacity and another to represent load against that capacity; or (2) for monitoring job progress, in which one horizontal line represents the production schedule and another parallel line represents the actual progress of the job against the schedule in time. Syn: job progress chart, mileston chart.

A Gantt chart is a popular type of bar chart that illustrates a project schedule. Gantt charts illustrate the start and finish dates of the terminal elements and summary elements of a project. Terminal elements and summary elements comprise the work breakdown structure of the project.
