Visualize project tasks and dependencies with a Gantt chart that adapts and grows with your project.
How Gantt charts help you visualize project management
You can use Gantt charts to streamline workflows by visualizing everyone’s to-dos and deadlines.
Zoom out for a high-level overview of your project and the final deliverables, or zoom into individual tasks to view their status, dates, progress, and dependencies.
Managing projects with Gantt charts lets you:
Make a project plan that you can adapt as your project shifts and grows
Identify tasks and dependent subtasks at a glance
Track your progress toward hitting milestones and deliverables
Prevent bottlenecks before they happen
Create a plan that's easily shared with stakeholders, team members, and external collaborators
