A Gantt chart is a bar chart of a project schedule, with each task drawn as a bar from its start date to its end date along a timeline.
Named after Henry Gantt, who popularised it in the 1910s, the chart shows at a glance what happens when, how long it takes and what overlaps. Lines between bars show dependencies, and diamonds often mark milestones.
When to use one
Gantt charts suit projects with fixed dates and dependencies: launches, events, construction, migrations. They show the critical path that decides the finish date.
Gantt charts in Starlex
Every Starlex project has a Gantt tab built from its issues, with dependencies, the critical chain, drag to reschedule and CSV export. See the Gantt chart.
