About the Simple Gantt Chart

Draw a basic task timeline for a small project in minutes.

Projects go wrong when nobody can see who does what and by when. A clear chart, register or report keeps a team looking at the same picture.

Tips for better results

Keep tasks small enough to finish in a week or two.

Update the chart whenever dates change so the team trusts it.
