What is a Gantt Chart and why is it important?
In simple terms, it is a visual representation of your project in a timeline. They help teams see how deadlines can be met, which areas need more time, focus or team members, and allow project managers to keep a tab on the completion rate of a project. They also help reduce the likelihood of procrastination, giving a team fixed deadlines and an understanding of what their weekly task flow will look like.
Why use a Gantt Chart?
1. With a Gantt chart, project and time management is a breeze.
Meeting deadlines is critical, especially when you’ve got multiple people who are reliant on co-workers completing tasks before they can begin their own. When you create Gantt charts on Hassl, you can set due dates in accordance with deadlines, making sure to account for an anomaly. Keep your team well informed and get an overview of everyone’s tasks with Project Reports and Time Tracking, to make sure everything is right on schedule.
2. More deadlines met due to increased coordination via visualisation.
Assign tasks to relevant team members involved in each project with ease. When everyone can see a visual representation of each project, co-workers gain motivation to complete tasks on time. Task dependencies within Gantt charts build relationships between tasks. Hence, team members begin to understand why they need to complete tasks by a certain deadline, enabling them to work towards that as motivation.
3. Prevent burnout by utilising flexible task management.
When working on multiple projects, a planning tool helps prevent potential employee burnout. With Hassl’s Gantt chart, building out a project plan has never been easier. Combined with time tracking and project reports, you gain an understanding of how many hours employees can actually put in, where to make adjustments and how to actively optimise to meet deadlines.
4. Keep clients in the loop.
A Gantt chart is a great tool for visualisation for clients too. Use it as a planning tool to help clients gain a better understanding of when to expect results and project updates. Go over which tasks will require more time and why to ensure there’s little to no miscommunication about deadlines. With free guest access on Hassl, that’s easily done!
