**Scheduling diagrams with dependent events shown as cascading rectangles on a linear schedule.**
Gantt Charts are a form of scheduling diagram in which activities are represented in rectangles, placed along a common timeline, often including relationship constraints like “finish/begin” constraints. Common tools for creating Gantt charts include things like Microsoft Project - or even [[Notion]]’s Timeline database view. But you can also draw them with [[Diagrams as Code]] tools.
