A project team is having difficulty understanding the sequence of activities and their durations within a project. The project manager decides to provide a visual representation that shows tasks over time, including their start and end dates and how they overlap. Which of the following tools should the project manager use to assist the team?
A Gantt chart is a visual scheduling tool that displays tasks along a timeline, showing their start and end dates, durations, and any overlaps or dependencies. This helps team members understand the sequence of activities and how they fit within the project's timeline. An issue log tracks problems that arise during the project but doesn't visualize scheduling information. A risk report summarizes potential risks and their impact but doesn't detail task sequences or durations. A fishbone diagram, also known as an Ishikawa diagram, is used for root cause analysis and doesn't represent scheduling data.
