Gantt Chart

One of the most common and effective methods of displaying activities (tasks or events) displayed against time is a Gantt chart, which is frequently used in project management. A list of the activities is located on the chart's left side, and a suitable time scale is located along the top. A bar is used to symbolize each activity, and the position and length of the bar correspond to the activity's beginning, middle, and finish dates. This enables you to quickly determine: 

-What each of the activities entails

-When the start and finish of each action is

-How much time is allocated for each activity

-Where and by how much some activities intersect with other 

-The project's overall start and finish dates
