Last Updated: July 27, 2022
The Gantt chart is the project management monitoring module of Steer where you can update and monitor all tasks under specific work packages. Create, edit, and update tasks as necessary and keep your project timeline accurately as they happen on site.
With the Gantt chart, you can:
insert, edit, and delete tasks
upload your entire project timeline and group each individual tasks
organize work packages accordingly
track the progress of each task
schedule each task as planned and update its details on the fly as the project progresses
You can access the Gantt Chart via the Projects dashboard page.
