What is a Gantt Chart?

A Gantt chart is like a calendar for your project! It shows who is doing what and when. Each colored bar is a task, and you can see at a glance how all the pieces of your group project fit together.

Getting Started

1. Type your project title, class period, and teacher name at the top.
2. Click "Edit Team" to set up your group members' names.
3. Pick a start date and adjust how many days your project will take.
4. Click "+ Add Task" or double-click any time slot cell to create tasks.
5. Drag tasks to move them, or pull the top/bottom edges to change their time.

Time Slots and Class Periods

• Each day covers a 90-minute class period (0 min to 90 min).
• Use the Grid Detail dropdown to choose how detailed your timeline is -- 5, 10, 15, or 30 minute blocks. More blocks means more detail!
• Use the scroll wheel pickers in the task panel to set precise start and end times (always in 5-minute steps).
• The After School controls let you add extra time after the class period (0 to 180 minutes).
• Tasks snap to time slots so you can plan exactly when things happen during class.
