II. Introduction to Gantt Charts A GANTT Chart is: 1. A visual representation of a project schedule. A type of bar chart, Gantt charts show the start and finish dates of the different required elements of a project. 2. A useful planning tool to show long a project should take and help to sequence required activities by laying them out in the order in which the tasks need to be completed

GANTT Chart Structure Goals and Activities: Each overall project goal is listed on the vertical axis followed by all of the specific activities that will take place to achieve that goal. (These goals should correspond directly to the outcomes presented in the Logic Model). Time Span: Presented on the horizontal axis. Each cell corresponds to roughly one business week. Each cell is shaded if an activity is planned to occur during that period.
