Gantt Charts and Project Management
Gantt charts are important tools for project management.
Gantts allow you to easily map out tasks, events, and deadlines in a way that shows project timelines.
Using a Gantt bar chart to lay out daily, weekly and overarching agenda items is an effective way to keep each event from getting lost or under-prioritized.
Further, bar position Gantt charts let you know what needs doing and the deadline for getting it done.
In essence, a simple Gantt chart paints a visual picture of your project timeline, allowing you and your employees to grasp the project more effectively. This is especially useful if there are a lot of players on the scorecard.
When using a simple Gantt chart, you should first decide on the completion date sequence for each task.
Then, after pinning down other task details such as the expertise required to complete the task, you can delegate the task to an employee.
Sometimes, completing a project may even include hiring out-of-house resources such as contract employees or providers. This may sound overwhelming, but by using a Gantt chart that denotes who is in charge of each piece of the project, you can put your mind at ease.
