Gantt Charts

A Gantt chart is a way of managing your time when you are working on a project.
It may show time in weeks or days.
It shows all the jobs that need to be done to complete the project.
At the beginning of the project it shows how long you think each stage in the project will take.
It is useful to help you keep track of where you are up to.

A Gantt chart can and should be revised as things change. If something takes longer than expected, there is less time to spend on something else. If something is faster that expected, you can spend more time on something else, or even finish earlier! It is important to show that your Gantt chart has need adjusting during the course of your project.
