A Gantt chart is a visual timeline that shows your project’s tasks, when each one starts and ends, and how they overlap. It helps you see the whole schedule at a glance so you can spot conflicts and keep work on track.

Yes. TeamGantt offers an AI Gantt Chart Maker GPT that helps you plan your project and builds the schedule directly in your TeamGantt account.

Here’s how it works:

• Start with a short project description, an AI draft, or an uploaded plan
• Answer a few prompts (dates, phases, deliverables, owners)
• Review and refine the plan
• Approve the plan, and the GPT creates your project in TeamGantt (tasks, groups, milestones, dependencies, and assignments) and gives you a link to the live chart

Nothing is created in TeamGantt until you review and approve the plan.

List your tasks with start dates and durations, select the data, and insert a stacked bar chart. Hide the first series (start dates) so only the duration bars show. Finally, adjust the date axis scale so the chart displays correctly.
