    A Gantt chart is a type of chart that shows the work breakdown structure (WBS) of a project in terms of start and finish dates of activities and sub-activities. It was developed by Henry Gantt in the early 20th century as a simple scheduling tool and has evolved into more complex versions used in software like MS Project. Gantt charts can show relationships between components, which activities must be completed first, and which can be done simultaneously. They are used to plan and track project schedules and strategies to meet goals. Preparing a Gantt chart involves referring to the WBS, adding time columns, and marking planned start and end dates for each activity.
