View a PDF of this Schedule This is a Basic Gantt chart example. It shows tasks in a Security and Access Control project. Tasks are outlined in two sections. Each task uses a yellow triangle to indicate the start date of the task and a green down triangle to indicate the finish date of the task. Also shown on this schedule are the responsible sub-contractors for the project (in the column labeled R-E-S-P).
A milestone chart depicts key events along a timescale. A milestone chart traditionally used triangles to depict a specific event. A milestone on a milestone chart Gantt can depict a specific event or a culmination of events. Milestones on a milestone chart Gantt can be shown in various colors or with markings that indicate status. A milestone chart Gantt is usually used for top level reporting so management does not become bogged down in the minutia of the project or projects.
The Gantt chart format can also be applied to timelines. Timelines are often similar to very detailed milestone charts. They might include bars, similar to those found on a Gantt chart, but often they will include milestone markers, representing significant events in history.
