Gantt chart allows you to create an outline of the tasks involved in a project and the time period in which those tasks need to be completed in order to finish the project on time. It gives you a visual representation of your schedule with horizontal bar charts that you can easily follow. You can prioritize your tasks by setting a critical path for yourself and see the progress you make as you go. I never had to make a Gantt chart for work before but just like many other people who posted under this post earlier, I did have to make a Gantt chart for the capstone class that I took in my senior year. There were times where we fell behind and had to make modifications to our timeline but overall it was a very useful tool in keeping us organized and giving us a sense of direction for what came next in the product development process.
