How to Understand and Build Gantt Charts
Gantt charts are one of the most popular project tools out there — but they’re also misunderstood. In this video, I break down what a Gantt chart is, how to build one properly, and when to actually use it. You’ll learn what they do well, when they cause problems, and how to avoid common mistakes that make them harder than they need to be.
I also explain why a Gantt chart isn’t the same thing as a project plan — even though most people treat it that way.
