Advantages of Gantt Charts. 5. It creates a picture of complexity. We think in pictures. Therefore, if we can see complex ideas as a picture, this will help our understanding. 6. It organizes your thoughts. A big problem is conquered by dividing it into component parts. A Gantt chart will force you to do this. 7. It demonstrates that you know what you’re doing. When you produce a nicely presented Gantt chart with high level tasks properly organized and resources allocated to those tasks, it speaks volumes about whether you are on top of the needs of the project and whether the project will be successful. 8. It (should) help you to set realistic time frames. The bars on the chart indicate in which period a particular task or set of tasks will be completed. This can help you to get things in perspective properly. And when you do this, make sure that you think about events in your organization that have nothing to do with this project that might consume resources and time. 9. It can be highly visible. It can be useful to place the chart, or a large version of it, where everyone can see it. This helps to remind people of the objectives and when certain things are going to happen. It is useful if everyone in your enterprise can have a basic level of understanding of what is happening with the project even if they may not be directly involved with it.
Disadvantages of Gantt Charts. • They can become extraordinarily complex. Except for the simplest
