What is a Gantt chart?

There are people who don't know what a Gantt chart is!

There are many forms in Excel to assist in management and improve work efficiency. You may not know how to Excel, but you have to know about these tabular tools.

Yesterday, in a workplace communication group, someone asked: how can you manage the progress of the project more clearly?

Although the progress of each project is clearly marked in the current table, the sequence of progress is not intuitive.

For example, "systematic declaration" or "submission of materials" first? When the leader looked at this form, he could not feel the progress intuitively.

This problem can be solved by using the Gantt chart, and the specific method is realized in the third way.

Gantt Chart 1 Gantt Chart, also known as pipeline chart, is a management tool first proposed by Henry Lawrence Gantt, which uses bar charts to show the internal relationship between project, schedule, and other time-related system progress over time.

On the left side of the Gantt chart is the list of projects, and horizontally is the timeline. It is very intuitive to mark the progress on the timeline according to the start and end time of the project.

This is the most basic Gantt chart, you can view the time node of each project. Compare whether the time of multiple projects overlap, and allocate resources reasonably.

Gantt Chart 2 A more complex Gantt chart will include planning and actual management. For example:

Does ❶ proceed with the project as planned?

What is the actual progress of ❷?

So for each progress bar in the Gantt chart, you need to add a dimension to present these states.

When rendering these dimensions in the diagram, use a different presentation, which is as obvious as possible compared to the plan, such as the following figure.

The meanings of the colors in the figure are as follows:

❶ green: actual project progress.

❷ gray: the cycle of the plan.

❸ red: the state to which the project has been postponed.

In this way, the status of the project progression can be managed in real time in the Gantt chart.

Gantt Chart 3 the first two Gantt Chart have a major premise, the horizontal coordinates must be the date.

Only in this way can we compare and mark the dates in the middle of the start and end to show the progress.

The project management table mentioned at the beginning of the article, the focus is not on the date, but to show the progress of the project, there is no way to compare the size, what should be done?

It's actually very simple:

❶ uses the project advance status as the date header.

❷ compares the status, colors all the cells before the current state, and presents progress management.

The Gantt chart looks like this. We only need to change the status of the project, and the [color block] on the right can clearly show the progress.

Gantt Chart written at the end is a very useful project management tool, because Excel tables are the most commonly used office software, so Gantt Chart in tabular format is also the most common.
