Project management charts encompass any visual display of the tasks and processes related to a project. These graphical data representations help explain, forecast, report on, or organize a joint initiative. Depending on the purpose they are meant to serve, project management charts take a wide range of forms, shapes, and sizes.

Project management charts are visual representations of data that turn difficult project management concepts into easily digestible assets. They’re mostly used for project planning and take many shapes such as flowcharts, network diagrams or bar charts.
