Key Points

  • Displays activities and durations on a calendar-like time scale using horizontal bars.
  • Activities or WBS components are listed on the left; dates span across the top.
  • Easy for stakeholders to read, but shows limited logic relationships compared to network diagrams.
  • Useful for communicating the plan and tracking progress against a baseline.

Each task has a bar drawn from its planned start to finish dates. During execution, progress shading on each bar indicates percentage complete.
