Editing Gantt chart (section)

== Linked Gantt charts ==
Linked Gantt charts contain lines indicating the dependencies between tasks. However, linked Gantt charts quickly become cluttered in all but the simplest cases. [[Critical path network diagram]]s are superior to visually communicate the relationships between tasks.{{sfn|Flouris|Lock|2012|p=239|loc=Chapter 12}} Nevertheless, Gantt charts are often preferred over network diagrams because Gantt charts are easily interpreted without training, whereas critical path diagrams require training to interpret.{{sfn|Flouris|Lock|2012|p=236|loc=Chapter 12}} Gantt chart software typically provides mechanisms to link task dependencies, although this data may or may not be visually represented.{{sfn|Klein|1999|p=49}} Gantt charts and network diagrams are often used for the same project, both being generated from the same data by a software application.{{sfn|Klein|1999|p=49}}
