When stakeholders ask ‘where are we?’ the best answer is a chart they can read in 10 seconds. This Gantt Chart gives you that chart — updated in real time, shared in one click, no software licence required.

What’s inside this Gantt Chart template

• Task bars scaled to actual duration — every task visualised as a bar on the project timeline
• Dependency indicators — linked tasks shown side by side so bottlenecks are visible before they occur
• Milestone markers — key dates flagged on the timeline for delivery, review, or sign-off
• Progress shading — completed portions of each task bar fill in automatically as work is logged
