Although it doesn't have a built-in Gantt feature, Apple's Keynote allows Mac users to create a basic Gantt chart starting from a 2D Stacked Bar graphic. The resulting visual can be manually formatted to be fit for high-level presentations, but professionals who need to update it regularly or add more precise details may find the process a bit cumbersome.

For those who want to build professional-looking Gantt charts and update them quickly, a simpler way might be to use the web-based Gantt chart maker called Office Timeline Online. The tool allows you to create your visual directly in your browser and then download it as a native PowerPoint slide, which makes it easy to share and include in presentations. On this page, I will show you how to make a Gantt chart both manually in Keynote and automatically with the online Gantt tool. If you wish to learn how to make a timeline in Keynote for Mac, check out our timeline tutorial here.

How to manually make a Gantt chart in Keynote

1. Enter your project data into a table and calculate key details.

1. Open Keynote and double-click to choose the type of presentation you want to use from the options available in the Standard Theme Gallery. In my example, I selected a simple, white presentation.

2. Keynote will generate a standard Title & Subtitle slide. To have more room for your graphic, you can turn the slide into a blank one. To do so, simply uncheck the boxes under the Appearance section of the Format pane on the right.

3. Now, to start gathering and calculating the data for your chart, add a Headers table to your blank slide by going to Insert → Table on the Keynote ribbon.

4. On the first row of the newly added table, list the key phases of your project (project tasks) as in the image below. Because these task descriptions will be shown as labels on your chart, it would be best to keep them as short as possible to ensure they'll fit well.
   

5. On the second row, enter the Start Week for each of your project’s phases, which will help determine the task bars' positioning on the graphic. Use the first task (starting in week 1) as a reference point to work out the other tasks' start week judging by the calendar date on which they're scheduled to begin. To illustrate how I estimated the start time for each of my tasks, I've included a second table (Calculations) in the image below.
   

6. Lastly, list each task’s duration in weeks on the third row. You can see the math I did for the duration series in the Calculations table below.

2. Add a 2D Stacked Bar Chart to your slide

Now that you've got all the necessary data sorted out, you can start building the graphic.

1. Go to Insert → Chart on the Keynote ribbon.

2. Select 2D Stacked Bar from the menu that appears.

   Keynote will automatically generate a simple stacked bar chart looking like the one below:

3. Add the data to your graphic

1. Select all the rows in your project data table and copy them (Cmd + C).

2. Now select the chart area and click on Edit Chart Data.

3. Click on the first cell (top-left corner) in the Chart Data window that pops up and paste the copied cells in to replace the placeholder data with your own. Keynote will instantly update the graphic with your project's details.

   
   

   Note: Don’t worry if the task descriptions go off the slide. You can adjust both the text and the chart area to ensure a better fit by following the steps in the section below.

4. Format your chart to improve its legibility

1. Select the chart area and drag its sizing handles to reduce the height and width of your graphic.

2. Drag and drop the chart to reposition it better within the slide.

3. You may also want to edit the task descriptions on the left side of your graphic for an optimized display. To do so, double-click on any of them, and then, from the Format pane on the right, use the Font options (style, typeface, color and size) on the Axis Labels tab. I chose to decrease the text font size from 22 to 20 pt.

5. Turn your graphic into a Gantt chart

Now that your stacked bar fits the slide properly, you will need to make a few more adjustments to make it look like a Gantt. The formatting required for this is to make the blue bars transparent so that only the green ones remain visible. These will represent your tasks. To achieve this:

1. Click on any of the blue bars to select the entire series at once.

2. Select the Style tab from the Format pane on the right side of the slide.

3. Click on the color indicator next to Fill and select No Fill.

   The resulting Gantt chart should look like this:

6. Customize your Gantt chart's task bars

At this point, you can apply a series of customizations to the task bars to make your Gantt chart more unique.

1. To recolor all your tasks simultaneously, double-click on any of the bars on your chart, go to the Style tab in the Format pane and use the Fill color indicator to select a new nuance. In my example, I opted for a dark orange.

2. You can also choose to recolor individual tasks, but you will need to tweak your data a bit to split your tasks into different series (categories). Open the Edit Chart Data table and:

   i.Add several new rows beneath your Duration line, as shown in the image below. This will generate a series of different colors for your tasks, which you can customize however you wish later.

   ii.Now, to move a task into a different color category, cut (Cmd + X) its Duration value from the original row and paste it (Cmd + V) in whichever of the newly added rows (keep the same column). You can see how I set up the new colors for my graphic in the image below.

   iii.The tasks with their duration values distributed on different rows will be considered as distinct series, while the ones with duration values on the same row represent a single series. This means you can further customize the former separately and the latter at once, which includes changing the default colors generated by Keynote earlier. If you want to do so, double-click on the desired bar, go to the Style tab and use the Color Fill indicator to select a new shade. Here is how I changed the default colors for my chart:

3. The Style section also lets you apply a variety of effects such as strokes and shadows. However, it is recommended that you keep them to a minimum to avoid burdening your visual. For instance, I applied only a simple black outline to my task bars using the Stroke feature.

4. If you want to have each task’s duration visible on the Gantt chart, select any of the bars, go to the Value Labels section within the Series tab, and then choose Number from the dropdown menu. The duration values will be displayed, and you can change their positioning within the task bars using the feature Location. I chose to place the duration values in the middle of the chart bars.

7. Customize the chart area

Once you've found the look you like for the task bars, you can also make some changes to the chart area using the features within the Chart tab of the Format pane. Before getting started, make sure to select the graphic.

1. Add borders and titles: Under Chart Options, tick the boxes for Title and Border.

2. Customize fonts: Using the Chart Font options, you can modify the type and size of the text for the entire graphic. In my example, I changed the font from Helvetica Neue to Charter.

   
   

   Note: If you want to customize the chart title or task descriptions independently, double-click on the desired element and make the intended change from the pane on the right.

3. Adjust the space between the chart bars: To increase or decrease the space between your tasks, use the up-down controls under the Gaps section. I increased the gap percentage from 40% to 60% as shown in the image below.

4. As a last edit to my Gantt chart, I’ve added more vertical gridlines to better highlight the relative distance between tasks. If you want to do the same, click on the Axis tab of the Format pane, go to Minor Gridlines, and select the type of gridline you want to use. I chose a straight black line with the size of 0,25 points.

   In the end, my final Gantt chart in Keynote looked like this:

The Gantt chart is an essential tool used in project management. It makes the project manager track the progress of the project against time. In the Gantt chart, the whole project is divided into sub-tasks, and then those tasks' progress is then plotted on the chart in the form of a bar. The milestones are also added with the tasks in the diamond shape.

The progress is on the left side of the chart, while the resources and tasks' names are on the right side. The chart helps to see how much work has been done related to the project deployed on a task, what kind of tools are in use, etc.

In this article, we will see how to make a Gantt chart on a Mac, what a Gantt chart is, its importance, and everything related to it.

For this project, we will use the Pages tool on the Mac to make a Gantt chart. See the below steps thoroughly.

Step 1: Launch the Pages application

Open the Pages application. In the Basic category of templates, double-click the Blank Landscape. This layout is approved for the Gantt chart.

Now, add the table to your project by navigating to Insert > Table , or click the Table above the page on the taskbar.

Now, add the names of the tasks of your project in the first row. Keep the names short, so they apply nicely to the graphics. In the third row, add each task duration in which the task has to be done.

Step 2: Create a 2D stacked bar chart

On the ribbon of the page, click on Insert and then go to the Chart. The menu will show you the 2D Stacked Bar. Wait for a second the stacked bar will automatically generate a raw bar.

Step 3: Input the data into the chart

In this step, select and copy all the project data in the first row by using Cmd + C. Now, click on the Edit Chart Data option that appears after the selection of the data.

On the Chart Data window, select the first cell in the top-left corner and paste all the data here. The graphics will automatically update your data on the bar chart.

Step 4: Turn the bar chart into the Gantt chart

To make your projects look like a Gantt chart, follow these steps. It will simply make the blue bar transparent and the green one more illuminated.

Double-click on any blue bar. It will select all the blue bars on the project. In the Format pane on the right side of the page's document, click the Style tab. Next to Fill, click on the color indicator and then select No Fill.

The basic Gantt chart is done! And you can change the color or make some customizations to help it look more professional.

Step 5: Customize the task bars

Click the chart area and then click on any bar to select all at once. Then go to the Style tab in the Format pane. Use color indicators near the Fill option and choose a new color you like. You can see any of the templates on the internet to see how the colors are done on the bars.

For displaying the task duration, select all the bars by pressing Shift + Click, then go to the Series tab. Under the Value Labels, select Number from the drop-down menu. Use the location feature to change the placement of the value labels.

Step 6: Chart Area Customization

Customize the chart area by the Chart tab of the Format pane. Under Chart Options, tick the Border and Title options. Uncheck the legend if it seems redundant to you.

Under the Chart Font option, you can also customize the chart fonts. Under the Gaps option, use the up-down controls to increase or decrease the space between the chart bars. In the same Format pane, click on the Axis tab and go to the Minor Gridlines to add the vertical lines to your project.

How to Make a Gantt Chart in Number for Mac?

Here we will see how to make a Gantt chart in the Numbers application of the Mac.

Step 1: List your data in tables

Launch the Numbers application. Under the Basic section of the template gallery, select the Charting Basics category. On the far left side of the Charting Basics, click on the '+' tab to create a new sheet. The table is added to the newly generated sheet. Add your tasks to the first column.

Using the first task as a reference, add the start week for each of the project phases. In the next column, list each time duration in which the task has to be done.

Step 2: Create a 2D stacked bar

Select all the data that you add on the table and then go to Insert > Chart. Choose 2D Stacked Bar from the menu that appears after the data selection. The data will automatically generate the bars.

Step 3: Turn your bar chart into the Gantt chart

In the Format pane on the right side of the sheet, select the Style tab. Next to the Fill, click on the color indicator and select No Fill. Then the blue bars will 'disappear'.

Step 4: Customize the Gantt chart

To add some colors, go to the Style tab in the Format pane and click on the Fill. See the template on the internet to take the color guidance. You can also add effects and styles from the Style section.

To display task duration, select all the bars and then go to the Series tab, where you will find the Value Labels and then select 'Same as Source Data.' by clicking on the arrow on the left.

Check the Border and Title under Chart Options. You can change the styles or sizes of the fonts under Chart Fonts. In the Chart tab, select Gaps and the up-down controls to modify the gap between your bars. To add the vertical lines, select the Axis tab of the Format pane and then go to Minor Gridlines to add the lines to your project.
