What is Gantt Chart?
A Gantt chart is a visual project management tool that shows tasks or jobs plotted against a timeline. It helps users understand what needs to be done, when it should happen, and how different tasks relate to one another. By laying out work in a time-based view, a Gantt chart makes project progress easier to track at a glance.
In Caction, the Project Gantt Chart focuses on project-level scheduling, allowing users to see how jobs are planned and executed over time within a project.

Why Use a Gantt Chart? (Premium Version)
The Premium version of Caction’s Project Gantt Chart takes project planning to the next level by combining visibility with full control. It not only helps teams track progress but also empowers project managers to actively manage timelines, resources, and dependencies.
With the Premium version, you can:
Gain complete project control
Adjust schedules, shift deadlines, and reassign tasks directly within the Gantt chart to keep your project on track.
Visualise dependencies and critical paths
See how tasks relate to each other and identify bottlenecks that may impact the overall timeline.
Track progress in real-time
Monitor job completion, delays, and upcoming milestones with live updates, ensuring proactive decision-making.
Optimize resource allocation
Manage workloads by assigning the right team members to the right jobs and avoid overloading or idle periods.
Spot conflicts and prevent delays
Identify overlapping tasks, schedule clashes, or gaps in the workflow, allowing you to resolve issues before they affect the project.
Support advanced project management
Ideal for complex projects requiring active oversight, planning adjustments, and detailed reporting to keep stakeholders informed.
