Gantt Chart 001
Gantt chart with task dependencies and milestone tracking.
A Gantt chart turns a list of tasks into a timeline you can manage — showing what happens when, what overlaps and what depends on what. This free Excel Gantt chart lets you map your whole project visually, with task dependencies and milestones, so slippages are obvious before they become problems.
How to use it: list your tasks with start dates and durations, link dependencies so the timeline reflects the real sequence, and mark key milestones. As work progresses, update actual dates to see at a glance whether you're ahead or behind.
