" If you can't understand the symbols in a Gantt Chart then its not your fault anymore. It is the fault of the one who created the Gannt Chart" 😂😂😂

Love that one HAHAHAHA

Thanks for the succinct intro. My takeaway: A bar chart to think through, monitor, and report a project's progress in terms of activities/tasks(Y axis) and their durations( X axis).

Hi ! I graduated in Information Technology back in 2018 & lost interest in my major. I did have an ardent passion in Project Management for IT. I achieved a B for my project & understood the theory etc. however, after watching this video ... I love it more & it’s redeveloped my interest. Cheers ! 🥃

That little history lesson you shared on Gantt chart is such a cool trivia, and a shame. This is almost like the invention of the telephone incident (it wasn't Alexander Graham Bell but Antonio Meucci).

THIS is that chart in the emails I keep getting at work. I never knew what the heck they were sending out.

Great video! I especially appreciated the longer silence breaks because it allowed me to fully process the concepts you were describing

This is a great video! Thanks so much, I need to learn more about project management to explain what Ive been going through and my plans now and in the future. I am also glad the internet exists.

@Online PM Courses - Mike Clayton; Thank you for this video and explanation. I have used bar charts before and am currently in a project scheduling course. I had read the dry as Mojave Desert dirt chapter 3 or 4 times and was still "stuck". Within four minutes, the code was cracked and the process became clear. Much Appreciated!!

Still using Gantt Chart to schedule Sprints for a release. Great visualization for stakeholders.
