A Gantt chart is a type of bar chart that illustrates a project schedule. It visually represents the tasks required for a project, their start and finish dates, and their dependencies. Visually, a Gantt chart depicts tasks as horizontal bars. The length of each bar corresponds to the estimated duration of the task. The position of the bar on the chart indicates the task's start and end dates. Dependencies between tasks are often shown using arrows connecting the bars, indicating that one task must be completed before another can begin. This allows for a clear overview of the project timeline and potential bottlenecks.

• Tasks are represented as bars.
• Bar length indicates task duration.
• Bar position indicates start and end dates.
• Dependencies are shown with arrows.
