Gantt Chart
From Open Risk Manual
Definition
A Gantt Chart is graphical representation relevant in Project Management of the tasks comprising a project along with the duration of each. Tasks are arranged in sequential order sorted by start date and/or precedence.
A chart will typically list the tasks to be performed on the vertical axis, and time intervals on the horizontal axis. The width of the horizontal bars shows the duration of each activity comprising the project. Gantt charts also show possible dependency relationships between activities.
