Which feature in Smartsheet is specifically used to visualize project timelines?

Gantt charts are a specific feature in Smartsheet designed to visualize project timelines effectively. They present the project schedule in a graphical format that illustrates when tasks start and finish, their duration, and how they overlap with other tasks. This visualization helps project managers and teams understand the sequence of activities, allocate resources appropriately, and identify potential bottlenecks in the timeline.

Gantt charts make it easier to communicate project status to stakeholders by summarizing complex information in a straightforward visual format. This allows users to track progress over time and manage dependencies between tasks efficiently, which is essential for staying on schedule and ensuring project success.

Other options, while useful in the context of managing projects or tasks, do not provide the timeline visualization that Gantt charts specifically offer. For instance, dashboards focus on summarizing data and key performance indicators, task lists are straightforward representations of tasks without timeline context, and calendar view shows tasks in a calendar format but lacks the detailed timeline perspective that Gantt charts provide.
