What is the purpose of a Gantt Chart? A Gantt Chart is a timeline that is used as a project management tool to illustrate how the project will run. You can view individual tasks, their durations and the sequencing of these tasks. View the overall timeline of the project and the expected completion date.
Understand the different views and tables in MS-Project. MS-Project is comprised of Project Task and Resource data stored in various internal tables and project information is displayed across many different views. The default view in MS-Project is the Gantt Entry View. This view is used to enter the work breakdown structure, assign resources and dependencies. A graphical Gantt chart is built with every task in the work breakdown structure. After the project schedule has been established, two additional views are helpful in tracking tasks, project status and assigned resources.
