Experienced project managers are familiar with the Gantt chart, which is a dynamic bar chart that shows the project schedule on a timeline. It also includes task dependencies that note when one task is related to another.

Gantt charts are essential for modern project planning and scheduling because they allow project managers to visualize all of the activities that make up the project on a timeline. They have evolved from a basic bar chart to an essential project management tool that allows project managers to identify the critical path, assign tasks, establish task dependencies, generate a project timeline and much more. ProjectManager offers Gantt chart features that the competition hasn't yet considered, such as import your task list and schedule from a static spreadsheet, link task dependencies, assign tasks directly from the Gantt view, and comment at the task level and all status updates.
