Gantt chart
A bar-chart presentation of activities against a timeline, showing their planned or actual duration and timing.
Why it matters
A bar chart can communicate dates without containing a sound logic network. Critical-path or float conclusions need the supporting schedule model.
In practice
A project example
Two bars overlap on a presentation, but the detailed schedule is needed to confirm whether that overlap is feasible.
