Gantt
Bar schedule diagram
A Gantt chart is a horizontal bar chart showing project tasks plotted against time.
Each bar represents a task's duration, with its position indicating start and end dates.
Named for engineer Henry Gantt, who popularized the format in the early 1900s.
The term usually appears as Gantt chart: We updated the Gantt chart to reflect the new deadlines.
