Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A Gantt chart is defined as a graphical representation of activity against time; it helps project professionals monitor progress. Gantt charts are essentially task scheduling tools: project management timelines and tasks are converted into horizontal bars (also called Gantt bars) to form a bar chart.

Detailed explanation-2: -Gantt charts convey this information visually. They outline all of the tasks involved in a project, and their order, shown against a timescale. This gives you an instant overview of a project, its associated tasks, and when these need to be finished.

Detailed explanation-3: -A project schedule network diagram visualizes the sequential and logical relationship between tasks in a project setting. This visualization relies on the clear expression of the chronology of tasks and events. Most often, a project network diagram is depicted as a chart with a series of boxes and arrows.

Detailed explanation-4: -According to Wikipedia, “A Gantt chart is a type of bar chart that illustrates a project schedule and shows the dependency relationships between activities and current schedule status.” In simpler words, Gantt charts are a visual view of tasks displayed against time.

Detailed explanation-5: -Gantt charts are best for project management methodologies that use the critical path and for projects with overlapping components or task dependencies. They also perform especially well as a project-wide visual tool that gets team members and stakeholders aligned on a shared vision of the project and project timeline.
