One tool you can use to visually monitor project progress and determine whether tasks are on track is a Gantt chart. A Gantt chart is a graphical representation of the duration of tasks that a team will accomplish for a project. Developing a Gantt chart means determining the start and end dates for all tasks required to complete the project. In SharePoint, you can convert any list to a Gantt view. However, you must ensure that your list contains fields that can be mapped to a title, start date and due date. If none of the fields in your list can be mapped, you must create them to use the Gantt view.
