Gantt charts are used to map out reasonable timelines including the initiation of a project and critical pathways, this way critical milestones can be monitored. The development of network diagrams and gantt charts allows smooth initiation, continuation, and completion of a project according to the general project path flowchart. This is not only helpful in medical device industries but really any industry that has a timeline that needs to be met in the most optimal fashion. This boils down to organization and effective project management to ensure that project tasks are divided up ideally among a team and that each team member knows when their respective tasks are due on the gantt chart.
