SIMPLE GANTT CHART by Vertex42.com
https://www.vertex42.com/ExcelTemplates/simple-gantt-chart.html

About This Template

This template provides a simple way to create a Gantt chart to help visualize and track your project.
Simply enter your tasks and start and end dates - no formulas required. The bars in the Gantt chart
represent the duration of the task and are displayed using conditional formatting. Insert new tasks by
inserting new rows.

Guide for Screen Readers

There are 2 worksheets in this workbook.

TimeSheet
About

The instructions for each worksheet are in the A column starting in cell A1 of each worksheet. They are
written with hidden text. Each step guides you through the information in that row. Each subsequent step
continues in cell A2, A3, and so on, unless otherwise explicitly directed. For example, instruction text might
say "continue to cell A6" for the next step.

This hidden text will not print.

To remove these instructions from the worksheet, simply delete column A.
