Regarding the Gantt chart, I have yet to gain experience in the industry, but from my senior year capstone course, I do have experience in creating Gantt charts. A simple and basic essential you need to start the chart is by documenting the purpose of the project and steps in order to accomplish that project. After that start adding milestone that highlights the important tasks which need to be finished before moving forward with another task. Furthermore, the time period color code bar next to the milestone gives you updates on the progress. With that being said, the color code bar also gives you a notification if you are falling behind the schedule. Therefore, I think having Gantt chart is very helpful and must when doing a project.
