Gantt Charts er det primære værktøj for projektledere og dit primære overblik over dit projekt. Et Gantt kort indeholder et hierarkisk regneark til venstre som viser en liste af dine opgaver samt et tidsskaleret til højre. Det gør det muligt for dig at se både opgaver i dit projekt, deres struktur og en tidsmæssig sortering.
Regnearket viser Work Breakdown Structure(WBS) (dansk: arbejdsopdelt struktur) af dit projekt med opgaver fordelt ned i forskellige niveauer af delopgaver. Du kan lave en sådanne opgavehierarkisk struktur ved at vælge opgaverækker og klikke på indent/outdent knappen. Du kan også højreklikke så indholdsmenuen kommer frem, så kommer indent/outdent også frem.

[edit] Lav en opgave
For at lave en ny opgave, så skriv opgavenavnet ind i navne-kolonnen og tryk enter. Det vil lave en 1 dags opgave der starter på projektets startdato. Opgavevarighed vil vises som 1d?. Spørgsmålstegnet viser at varighed af opgaven er estimeret. Du kan skrive en ny varighed (det gør at det ikke længere er et estimat), eller ændre varigheden med musen.
[edit] Linking Tasks
The tasks within a project are very often dependent on tasks that come before them. Instead of entering start dates for your tasks, use the mouse to draw dependencies between your tasks and let the application calculate the dates for you. An alternative method of creating links is to type in the predecessor task id's in the Predecessors column. See Linking for more details.
[edit] WBS hierarchy
To break your project up into phases, tasks, and subtasks, you need create a hierarchy by indenting children tasks under their parents. This you can do by selecting the child tasks in the spreadsheet and then clicking on the indent button. The parent task will then change in appearance and span the entire length of its children. There is no limit to the depth you can use. You can also "outdent" to move tasks back out a level.
[edit] Indicators
The first column of the spreadsheet displays graphical Indicators which indicate special properties of the tasks.
[edit] Gantt Diagram
The diagram part of the Gantt Chart shows a time axis on top, with bars for each task in the spreadsheet. By default, the diagram shows the following:
[edit] Standard Gantt features
- WBS Hierarchy: Parent tasks show up as black bars with endpoints. They span the duration of their children.
- Normal tasks (without children) are displayed with bar or bars showing when they are active.
- Critical/Noncritical status: Critical tasks show up in red, non critical tasks show up blue.
- Predecessor links: arrows are drawn which indicate dependencies between tasks.
- A background showing gray regions for non-work days according the project calendar.
- Labels to the right of tasks showing assigned resources, or in the case of Milestones, their dates.
[edit] Additional Gantt diagram features
- Baselines
- They will show up automatically if you save a baseline (see Tracking Menu)
- Since they take up space, they will increase the space between lines
- Free Slack and Total Slack (also known as Free Float and Total Float)
- Bars for assignments
[edit] Changing the Gantt appearance
- You can choose to show or hide the above by right clicking on the Gantt to display the Gantt context menu.
- You can zoom in and out to change the date span by using the magnifier toolbar buttons.
- You can use Filters, Sorts, and Grouping to change what tasks are shown and how they are organized.
- If the start of the Gantt Chart is not visible for some reason, it can be made visible by reentering the project start date.
[edit] Printing the Gantt chart
- Printing will use your current time-axis, filter, grouping, sorting, and spreadsheet settings.
- If you wish, you can print just the spreadsheet or just the chart instead of printing both. See Print Preview for details.
There is currently no fit-to-page option. However, you have some control over what's printed by zooming the time axis and modifying what columns are displayed in the Spreadsheet. You can also fold tasks that are not necessary to see.
[edit] Using the Mouse
By clicking and dragging, you can perform several manipulations on tasks. The mouse cursor will change based on where it is positioned and will guide you on the action that will be taken. You can:
- Extend/Reduce a task's duration
- Change task percent complete
- Move a task forward or back in time
- Linking tasks - when the mouse cursor leaves the current row, it automatically switches to link mode.
You can also perform the following
- Selecting links: The mouse cursor becomes a cross-hairs when over a link. Click to modify or remove it.
- Split a task (after right clicking to get context menu and choosing the Split Task option), click on the task to split it where you want.
