How to make a gantt chart
- Paste rows of Task, Start, End, Team (dates as YYYY-MM-DD). End dates are inclusive.
- No dates yet? Use Task, start day, duration — e.g. “Design, 3, 5”.
- Tasks keep the order you type them, top to bottom.
- Download PNG or SVG, or share a link your team can edit.
What a Gantt chart is for
Named after Henry Gantt, who popularised it in the 1910s, a Gantt chart shows each task as a bar along a timeline: where it starts, how long it takes and what overlaps. It’s the quickest way to communicate a plan in a slide or proposal.
This is a drawing tool, not project-management software: there are no dependencies, resources or notifications. For a one-page timeline that you can update by editing a list, that’s usually all you need.
Questions
What date format should I use?
ISO dates (2026-10-05) work everywhere. The end date is inclusive: a task from 5 to 9 October is 5 days long.
Can I show milestones?
Give a task the same start and end date. It appears as a short one-day bar.
Can I colour tasks by team or phase?
Yes. Add a fourth column (e.g. Team). Each unique value gets its own colour and a legend entry.
