Create and View Gantt Chart

Create a visual timeline of your project using the Gantt chart view. Visualize task schedules, dependencies, and critical paths to manage your project schedule effectively.

Audience

This guide is designed for project-manager.

Steps

Step 1: Navigate to Programme section

From the sidebar, click Programme (or select from the menu). This is the advanced project scheduling section. By default, it opens in Gantt chart view.

Step 2: View the Gantt chart

The Gantt chart displays all your tasks as horizontal bars on a timeline. Each bar shows the task's duration. The left side lists all tasks, and the right side shows the calendar timeline. Bars aligned vertically show tasks happening at the same time.

tip

You can scroll left/right to see different time periods, and up/down to see more tasks.

Step 3: Configure view options

Click the View Options button in the top right to customize the Gantt chart. You can choose to show/hide task dependencies, filter by status, filter by priority, or show only critical path tasks.

tip

Critical path (red line) shows tasks that directly impact the project end date.

Step 4: Adjust timeline zoom

Use the zoom controls at the top to adjust the timeline granularity. Zoom in to see daily details, or zoom out to see the full project timeline at once. This helps you analyze schedule at different scales.

Step 5: Identify critical path

Tasks highlighted in red form the critical path - the sequence of tasks that determines the minimum project duration. Any delay in critical path tasks delays the entire project. Focus on these tasks first.
