Gantt chart software

Anyone use one? If so which one and what do you think of it. I need to create one but think software might be easier. Thanks

Ready made is always better. But why do you need such a chart? Are your jobs that large? If so, think of using a PERT chart instead.

I'll have to look into it. I've already downloaded Office Libre; I had no idea they'd done anything like this.

You could also use a spreadsheet program and fill the cells. If all you need is a few items it might be doable.

You could get Microsoft Project. Expensive, and like using an elephant gun on a mouse if your project is very simple and will only be updated once or twice before completion.

Use graph paper and colored pencils.

I used to use MS Project until Microsoft went wild on the pricing on the server edition.

Then I switched to a spreadsheet and that took longer to set up but otherwise worked fine for what we had to do.
