Free template
Gantt chart in Excel: the free template to download
Write the tasks with start and end dates: the bars draw themselves, one column per week, with the current week highlighted. In Excel to fill in or PDF to print, free and with no sign-up.
What the template contains
Up to 20 tasks over 26 weeks, with owner, dates, duration in days and progress. Enter the chart start date and the weeks update on their own; each task becomes a coloured bar. The PDF is the blank version, to print and fill in by hand in a meeting.

The project, week by week.

When the spreadsheet is no longer enough
A Gantt chart in Excel works as long as one person maintains it, but it stays disconnected from the real tasks and after a few weeks nobody updates it. Projekta, Kamzan’s upcoming project management software, puts the timeline on the same tasks the team works on.
