📅 Timeline & Gantt Chart Planning
1. Why Use a Timeline or Gantt Chart?
After selecting a methodology, the next step is to break the project into actionable phases and schedule them. This is where timelines and Gantt charts become invaluable tools.
- Visualize the entire project duration
- Organize tasks and phases chronologically
- Allocate time effectively for each step
- Track progress and adjust plans if needed
- Coordinate responsibilities among team members
2. Timeline Writing: How to Start
