What is a gantt chart?
A Gantt chart lays a project's phases along a timeline with milestones and dependencies. Google Slides has no Gantt: people fake it with a stack of rectangles or a table that breaks the moment a date shifts.
When to use it
- Project and programme plans, roadmaps, launch timelines.
- Any slide that maps work to weeks or months.
- When phases, milestones and dependencies need to sit together.
How to make a gantt chart in Google Slides
- No native Gantt in Google SlidesThe built-in chart tool has nothing for timelines — the usual workaround is hand-drawn rectangles that don't hold up when dates move.
- Insert a ChartKit GanttPick Gantt from the chart menu; rows become phases along a week or month axis, with bars, bands and milestones.
- Edit phases and dates on the slideAdjust start and length per row, mark milestones and dependencies, apply your palette — all as an editable object in place.
