What a project Gantt chart shows
A Gantt chart lists tasks down the side and time across the top. Each task is a bar that starts and ends on the planned dates, so you can see which tasks overlap and when the project should finish. Guides often ask for one in the synopsis and in the final report.
A typical final year project plan has these phases: topic selection, literature survey, requirement analysis, design, implementation, testing, report writing and the final presentation. Testing and report writing often overlap with the last part of implementation.
How to make a realistic timeline
- Give implementation the most time; it is usually a third or more of the project.
- Leave a buffer before the submission date for printing, binding and signatures.
- Mark exams and holidays, because the dates here count calendar weeks.
- Update the chart after each review and show your guide the real progress.
The CSV file opens in Excel or Google Sheets if you want to colour the cells yourself. Split the work between members with the team task divider.
Formats vary by college and university. Treat this as a common starting point and follow your college or department guidelines and your guide's instructions wherever they differ.
Frequently asked questions
Can I write only the length of each task?
Yes. Write Task | length and each task starts after the previous one ends.
Can I use days instead of weeks?
Yes. Choose Days and the start and length numbers are read as days.
Does it skip holidays?
No. It counts calendar weeks or days, so add holidays and exam weeks yourself.
