About the framework

Gantt Chart for Beginners

This template demonstrates Gantt chart fundamentals with a real-world website redesign example. Each horizontal bar represents a task, its length shows duration, and the 'after' dependencies create the scheduling logic that makes Gantt charts valuable.

Two milestone markers (diamond shapes at zero duration) highlight key decision points: Design Review and Launch. These are gates where stakeholders approve progress before the next phase begins.

The parallel frontend/backend tasks in the Development phase show how Gantt charts reveal opportunities for concurrent work. Customize by replacing with your project tasks, adjusting durations, or adding resource assignments.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions

How do I change the dates and durations?

Click 'Use this template' and tell the AI your timeline: 'Start this project on June 1 and make planning 2 weeks, design 3 weeks, and development 4 weeks.' All tasks and dependencies will adjust automatically.

Can I add more phases or tasks?

Ask the AI to 'Add a QA phase after Development with regression testing (5 days), UAT (3 days), and bug fixing (5 days) before Launch.' It will extend the Gantt with the new section and dependencies.

How do I mark tasks as complete or in progress?

Ask the AI to 'Mark Requirements gathering and Stakeholder approval as done, and Wireframes as active.' Mermaid Gantt supports :done and :active tags that visually highlight task status.
