What Information to be Displayed in the ConceptDraw PROJECT Gantt Chart View
Talking about project planning in software terms we usually say “project” meaning “project document”. The project document is a file created in ConceptDraw PROJECT that contains all project data you input and also data that calculates automatically based on the input. The Gantt Chart view is the main interface in ConceptDraw PROJECT It displays information in a compact, efficient manner that’s particularly well suited to planning and tracking projects. Gantt Chart summarizes the tasks in your project and presents them graphically so you can easily view your progress.
The columns in a project Gantt View contain the information you want to capture about each task in your project. The following section details what information can be contained in the columns of a project outline:
