A Gantt chart is a tool used to display the project progress and timelines. It uses bar graphs to visually represent the start and end times of tasks, making it suitable for long-term and multi-phase project planning. With a Gantt chart, you can easily understand the overall structure of a project, monitor the task progress, and make timely adjustments to plans in response to changes.
This section will show you how to add data and configure styles for Gantt charts.
