Synopsis: This page shows an example of a Gantt chart. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. The short text descriptions down the left of the page relate to the row of boxes (or cells) opposite in the grid at the right. Each represents a step in the process of making a cake. Across the top of the page, the time is shown in intervals of five minutes. Below this is the grid in which some of the boxes are filled with textures. The textured cells in each row show how long each step will take and when it will start and end. So, for example, the third stage down Break open eggs, refers to the fourth cell to the right. By moving up to the scale at the top, you can see that this step will take five minutes to complete and will run from minute 15 to minute 20 in the cake-making process.
