I have not created a Gantt Chart in industry but I did have to create one for my Capstone class at NJIT. I also had to create one very early on in the project and I believe this made it more difficult especially since Capstone is a two semester course so I did not actually know the exact deadlines for Capstone 2. The only dates I was sure of were the start and end dates of the project as a whole. For example if one little thing goes wrong it can ruin the entire plan as a whole. I think the Gantt Chart is more helpful in splitting up responsibilities and deciding which part of the project needs to be done first. It can also help in saving time because through the Gantt Chart you can see which parts can be done at the same time.
