What is a ‘Gantt Chart’ and how is it used in Salesforce project management?

A Gantt Chart is a critical tool in project management that provides a visual representation of a project schedule. It displays tasks along a timeline, allowing project managers to see which tasks overlap, their durations, and the overall progress of the project. This visualization is particularly important in Salesforce project management, where multiple teams often work on interconnected tasks, as it helps in tracking deadlines, maintaining timelines, and adjusting resources as needed.

By effectively illustrating when tasks need to start and finish, a Gantt Chart helps in planning and coordinating activities, making it easier to identify potential delays and dependencies between different parts of a project. This is especially useful in public sector projects managed within Salesforce, facilitating better collaboration, communication, and accountability among team members.
