and finish dates of the terminal elements and summary elements of a project. Terminal elements
and summary elements comprise the work breakdown structure of the project. Some charts also
show the dependency (i.e. precedence network) relationships between activities. Gantt charts can
be used to show current schedule status using percent-complete shadings and a vertical
TODAY line as shown here.
