Create a simple Gantt chart in Lucid

Question

As a project manager, I’m looking for a very simple Gantt-style capability within Lucid that allows me to:

Add tasks as rows
Define start/end dates or durations per task
Automatically visualise these as horizontal bars against a timeline

I do not require:

Resource or team allocation
Dependencies, critical path, or advanced scheduling features

The goal is a lightweight planning view for sequencing and effort visibility only.

Can you please confirm:

Whether Lucidchart (or another Lucid product) natively supports this style of task‑vs‑timeline visualisation
If so, which shape libraries, data fields, or templates are recommended
If not, what the closest supported pattern is (e.g. data‑linked shapes, timeline components, or integrations)

Hi ​@David BrooksLucidchart can support a simple Gantt-style view using timeline or Gantt templates, where tasks are shown as horizontal bars across a time axis. However, this is primarily a manual, grid-based visualization, it doesn’t natively generate bars from task data (start/end or duration), and finer control (like partial durations within a time unit) depends on the timeline scale you choose.To learn more -Set timeline tasks to partial duration in Gantt Chart | CommunityHope this helps
