Gantt chart for home renovation project

Expert Solution

Gantt charts have been around for nearly a century, having been invented by Henry Gantt, an American mechanical engineer, around 1910. A Gantt chart is a project management tool which enables you to schedule your work over a period of time by breaking down big pieces of work into a series tasks where the dependencies are visually illustrated, parallel processes are discovered, the overall processing time determined and progress tracked. It assists project managers in the planning and scheduling of projects of all sizes.

A Gantt chart is useful to keep tasks on track when there is a large team and multiple stakeholders when the scope changes, as it's in a bar chart format it is possible to check on progress with a quick glance. You can easily see:

a visual display of the whole project and its phases
duration and start and end dates of all tasks
relationships and dependencies between the various tasks and activities
