Free Gantt Chart Generator

A Gantt chart plots tasks as horizontal bars along a time axis. Each bar starts where the task begins and ends where it finishes, so overlaps, sequencing, and total project duration are visible at once. In a research proposal it replaces a paragraph of scheduling prose with one readable figure.

Work packages, durations, milestones, and deliverables. List each work package as its own row, draw its bar across the months it runs, mark milestones as diamonds at their target dates, and flag deliverables where reports are due. A gantt diagram generator makes it easy to keep rows aligned as the plan changes.

Describe your work packages and their months, then generate the figure. Reviewers look for realistic durations, sensible overlap between packages, and milestones tied to deliverables. SciFig's gantt chart generator produces a timeline sized to fit a proposal page without shrinking the labels into illegibility.

Usually the full registration period, in quarters or months. A three- or four-year doctoral plan is normally drawn by quarter so the whole program fits one page, with fieldwork, analysis, and writing-up phases visible as overlapping bars. An online gantt chart maker lets you rescale the axis without rebuilding the rows.

A milestone is a zero-duration checkpoint, drawn as a marker. Unlike a task bar it has no length — it marks a date when something is completed or approved, such as ethics clearance, first-patient-in, or a submitted manuscript. A gantt generator normally renders milestones as diamonds so they stand out from the bars.

Yes — you can generate one in the browser with no install. Describe your work packages and dates and SciFig's gantt chart generator draws the timeline, which you can then edit and export at publication resolution for a proposal, a thesis chapter, or a progress report.
