What is tracking Gantt chart
A tracking Gantt chart is a tool used in project management to visually track the progress and status of tasks. It is an extension of a traditional Gantt chart but includes additional information such as percentage completed, actual start and end dates, and any deviations from the planned schedule.
The tracking Gantt chart allows project managers to easily monitor the progress of their projects and identify any areas where tasks are falling behind or ahead of schedule. It provides a clear and visual representation of the project's timeline and helps in making informed decisions about resource allocation and project adjustments.
The chart typically includes horizontal bars that represent each task or activity in the project, and their length corresponds to the estimated duration. The actual progress of each task is depicted by shading or coloring the bars to indicate the percentage completed.
By regularly updating and comparing the tracking Gantt chart with the initial project plan, project managers can identify potential delays or resource bottlenecks and take appropriate measures to mitigate risks and keep the project on track. Additionally, the chart can be shared with the project team and stakeholders to provide a unified and transparent view of the project's progress.
