Keeping every task on track and visualizing dependencies in real time can transform how teams deliver results. A gantt chart brings clarity to complex schedules, revealing potential bottlenecks before they derail deadlines. With Airtable’s interactive Gantt view, you can drag tasks across timelines, instantly adjust dependencies, and sync updates with your entire team.

Why Choose an Interactive gantt Chart?

Traditional static charts quickly become outdated. An interactive gantt chart empowers you to:

• Adjust timelines on the fly: Click and drag task bars to new dates.
• Visualize dependencies: Link tasks so changes cascade automatically.
• Collaborate in real time: Team members see updates the moment you make them.

• Customize fields: Add statuses, priorities, owners, and custom tags.
• Switch views seamlessly: Flip between grid, calendar, Kanban, and gantt without losing context.
• Automate key actions: Trigger reminders or moves when dates shift.
