Gantt Chart
What is a Gantt Chart?
A Gantt chart is a project management tool used to plan and schedule tasks. It shows the order of tasks, their duration, and deadlines. Typically, the chart has two parts: a task list on the left and a timeline on the right. Task details like dependencies, resources, and planned hours are listed on the left, while corresponding bars on the timeline visually represent each task’s schedule (Project Manager, 2022).
Using a Gantt chart helped our team visualise the interdependencies of tasks such as how data analysis relied on completing the Community Needs Assessment and workshop preparation depended on finalising ideation. This clarity improved timeline management, resource allocation, and workflow, ensuring a smooth progression from planning to execution. It also enhanced team communication, making responsibilities and progress visible and allowed us to identify potential bottlenecks early to adjust schedules proactively.
By seeing tasks in sequence, we could prioritise critical activities, maintain accountability, and adapt timelines when challenges arose. Overall, the Gantt chart strengthened our project organisation, coordination and ability to deliver a well-planned workshop, while providing valuable insights on planning, task management and team collaboration that we can apply to future projects.
