How do I create a Gantt chart?
Answer
Gantt charts are often used for project management, whether in business or personal life. This type of chart is useful because it displays a list of activities or tasks along a set timeline. A Gantt chart helps track the progress of a project, and ensures all tasks are complete by a specific date.
