		Since the initial introduction of Gantt charts, they have become an industry standard as a key project management tool for representing the phases, tasks and activities that are scheduled as part of a project work breakdown structure or timeline of activities.
		The Gantt chart that is popular today was described in 1942 as a layout chart by W. Clark.

	Gantt Chart
		Gantt charts are a project planning tool that can be used to represent the timing of tasks required to complete a project.
		Because Gantt charts are simple to understand and easy to construct, they are used by most project managers for all but the most complex projects.
		As the project progresses, the chart is updated by filling in the bars to a length proportional to the fraction of work that has been accomplished on the task.

		Gantt charts are simple to understand and easy to change, however they only provide a vague description of how the whole project is reacting as a system.
		Finally the Gantt chart does not show the uncertainty involved in performing the activity, therefore questions concerning the minimum or maximum duration of the activity are not represented.

		Gantt charts give a clear illustration of project status, but one problem with them is that they don't indicate task dependencies - you cannot tell how one task falling behind schedule affects other tasks.
		Automated Gantt charts store more information about tasks, such as the individuals assigned to specific tasks, and notes about the procedures.
		Charts may be adjusted frequently to reflect the actual status of project tasks as, almost inevitably, they diverge from the original plan.
