Project Management Software Can't Save You
&gt; Also called the “waterfall” method, Gantt charts create a visual metaphor of tasks and their dependencies and contingencies so you can see each individual task in terms of when it should start and when it must be completed, relative to the overall project and the tasks coming before it.<p>That&#x27;s a strange claim. Gantt charts are not a method, so claiming that they&#x27;re &quot;[a]lso called the “waterfall” method&quot; is bizarre on its face. Gantt charts are a <i>tool</i>. They&#x27;re a visualization of a schedule: the items, their expected start time, duration, their relation to each other. It&#x27;s useful for any project management team. You have N issues you need to resolve (Waterfall or not) and some can be done in parallel but others have dependencies? A Gantt chart can help you visualize how the work will play out.
