Type of bar-chart (but horizontal) that shows both the scheduled and completed work over a period. A time-scale is given on the chart's horizontal axis and each activity is shown as a separate horizontal rectangle (bar) whose length is proportional to the time required (or taken) for the activity's completion. In project planning, these charts show start and finish dates, critical and non-critical activities, slack time, and predecessor-successor relationships. Also called chronogram, it was invented in 1907 by the US engineer and a scientific-management pioneer, Henry L. Gantt (1861-1919).

GANTT LOADING CHART

DISADVANTAGES

It does not show the sequential relationship among different activities.It is not easy to establish which parts, in sequence dictate the total duration of the project.It is not easy to use the planning chart for control once the operation has started
