How do Gantt charts help in identifying the impact of delays in a project?

Gantt charts are a valuable tool in project management because they help identify the impact of delays in a project. They visually represent the timeline of a project, including the start and end dates of individual tasks. If a task is delayed, it's easy to see how this affects the overall project timeline. The chart can be updated to reflect the delay, showing the knock-on effect on subsequent tasks. This allows project managers to take corrective action early, such as reallocating resources or adjusting deadlines.

Question was asked on:

In a nutshell, a Gantt chart is a chart used in project management, as a way of showing activities, such as tasks or events displayed, against time. Typically, on the left, the chart displays a list of the activities with a suitable time scale. Then every single activity is represented by a bar, and the position and length of the bars in the chart reflect the start date, duration and deadline for the task or event.
