Looking for Gantt Charts? Here’s Where to Go
If you landed here hunting for a full Gantt chart tutorial, we’ll save you some scrolling: this site doesn’t cover Gantt charts in depth, and that’s a deliberate choice rather than an oversight.
Gantt charts are a specialist job. Done properly, they involve task dependencies, critical paths, resource loading and rolling schedule updates — the kind of thing that deserves its own dedicated treatment rather than a bolted-on section of a charting site. For that, head to gantt-chart.co.uk, which handles the topic end to end.
What we do cover that’s close
Plenty of people searching for “Gantt chart” actually want something lighter — a clean visual of project milestones or a simple timeline, not a full dependency-tracked schedule. If that’s you, two guides here will get the job done faster:
- Free Milestone Timeline Chart Template for Excel — a scatter-based milestone timeline you can drop your dates into. Not a Gantt, but often what people mean when they say one.
- How to Make a Timeline Chart in Google Sheets — the native timeline approach in Sheets, ideal for milestone-style project views.
Not sure which chart you actually need?
