Get started with the Gantt Chart
The Gantt charts in Adobe Workfront provide a visual representation of the timeline of a list of tasks or projects.
In Adobe Workfront, there are two Gantt Charts with similar functionality:
- The task list Gantt Chart: displays information about tasks and their timeline at the project level. A similar Gantt Chart displays information about template tasks at the template level.
- The project list Gantt Chart: displays information about projects and their timeline.
Although they look and feel similar, the functionality of each one is different.
