At the top, the X-axis of the chart shows time.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no fixed unit for time \u2014 it could be measured in weeks, days, hours, or minutes, depending on the tasks you\u2019re tracking. In Excel, each task gets its own row.<\/p>\n<p>As you can see in the example above from Microsoft, task 1 starts at time unit 0 and runs until just before task 2, which proceeds until task 3 begins.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s worth noting that tasks can overlap \u2014 the purpose of the Gantt chart isn\u2019t to determine the order of tasks but to provide an easy way to see what\u2019s happening, when, and how many processes are happening at once.<\/p>\n<div class=\"hs-embed-wrapper\" style=\"position: relative; overflow: hidden; width: 100%; height: auto; padding: 0px; max-width: 560px; min-width: 256px; display: block; margin: auto;\">\n<div class=\"hs-embed-content-wrapper\">\n<div style=\"position: relative; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; padding-bottom: 56.25%; margin: 0px;\">\n   <iframe style=\"position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 100%; height: 100%; border: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tuQpGzL_14g\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n  <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a><\/a> <\/p>\n<h2>The Benefits of Gantt Charts<\/h2>\n<p>Gantt charts offer several benefits, including the following.<\/p>\n<h3>At-a-Glance Project Progression<\/h3>\n<p>Gantt charts let you see when projects began, how far along they are, if they\u2019re reached specific milestones, and if they overlap with other projects.<\/p>\n<p>This makes it possible to better understand how long processes will take and if concurrent processes may cause friction.<\/p>\n<h3>Actionable Insight<\/h3>\n<p>These charts also provide actionable insight for project management staff. Because teams can see project start dates and timelines at-a-glance, they can pinpoint potential bottlenecks and make changes.<\/p>\n<p>In practice, teams might discover that three processes are due to start on the same day. By staggering start dates slightly, they can avoid possible performance issues.<\/p>\n<h3>Improved Time Management<\/h3>\n<p>Consider a Gantt chart showing multiple tasks with the same start date and team responsible for them. If left alone, this project framework could waste time, as one team is overworked, and others may not have enough on their plate.<\/p>\n<p>A better understanding of what\u2019s happening, when, and why can help companies improve their time management.<\/p>\n<h3>Reduced Risk of Resource Overload<\/h3>\n<p>Projects share a pool of finite resources. The more projects happening simultaneously, the bigger the resource drain and the greater the risk of resource overload.<\/p>\n<p>Gantt charts offer a way to compare process resource needs and make adjustments that help keep projects on track.<\/p>\n<p>While every Gantt chart differs, common features include task, taskbars, and milestones due dates. Charts may also include sub-task bars or use bar shading to indicate how far a task has progressed.<\/p>\n<p><a><\/a> <\/p>\n<h2>How to Create Gantt Charts in Excel<\/h2>\n<p>Despite their usefulness and ubiquity, Gantt charts don\u2019t have a built-in template in Excel. As a result, users need to either download a pre-built Gantt chart or build their own.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a step-by-step guide to creating a Gantt chart in Excel.<\/p>\n<div class=\"hs-embed-wrapper\" style=\"position: relative; overflow: hidden; width: 100%; height: auto; padding: 0px; max-width: 560px; min-width: 256px; display: block; margin: auto;\">\n<div class=\"hs-embed-content-wrapper\">\n<div style=\"position: relative; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; padding-bottom: 56.25%; margin: 0px;\">\n   <iframe style=\"position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 100%; height: 100%; border: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-oD50HSBBBI\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n  <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>1. Enter your project data.<\/h3>\n<p>The first step in creating a Gantt chart is entering project data into a typical Excel spreadsheet. In our example, we will enter three data columns: Task Name, <a href=\"http:\/\/aimoneymachine.club\">float:left;<\/a> on Day, and Duration. The result should look something like this.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/YqroHMXtfZ_DGFzeWWOtmnCJA9IE--qEi-pKoinJ9-z4WdCV_Yp1qvLcQbwhi9YYKYNFKyja6w8BGvHtW3OBEKRO7zrOt5YcWoQTqgrAFTIP5rQ6N0EUL5CkY2i-X4PIYPlw85JUjFW7vfedwpVAGoU\" style=\"margin: auto; display: block; width: 650px;\" alt=\"Gantt chart excel example\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.hubspot.com\/marketing\/add%20Url\" style=\"font-size: 12px;\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>2. Make a stacked bar chart.<\/h3>\n<p>Next, we\u2019re going to create a stacked bar chart. To do this, select the data in the <a href=\"http:\/\/aimoneymachine.club\">float:left;<\/a> on Day column (with the header). Then, under \u201cInsert,\u201d select \u201cBar Chart\u201d, then \u201c2-D Bar\u201d, then \u201cStacked Bar\u201d to get this.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/khChq3j0EP7gBTUavdO4C6xZb2iUXUEPmpLKjLEOR3YMPbYt6_6m9K2Rr6miFsQuq3CuWuh7BQXpwG_6q3L2l19RKXhzNgAsjNaj-mAnfWKaTAyyCrSgDr21sVj9wXEZWKnJ9cUODGxWyRaPxeYvAKA\" style=\"margin: auto; display: block; width: 650px;\" alt=\"Gantt chart excel example\"><\/p>\n<h3>3.

This will open an \u201cAxis labels\u201d window.
