Reading the chart

What this example shows

  • Every phase overlaps the next by roughly a week — deliberate staging rather than a strict waterfall.
  • Build is by far the longest bar at eight weeks, and QA starts before it finishes.
  • Ravi owns two non-adjacent phases, which the owner colouring makes easy to spot.
