If you are doing higher studies in IT or Business (Or any other), when you get to work on projects, you usually have to submit a documentation. And when preparing this documentation, the last thing you usually do before submitting is creating the Gantt chart (Although its supposed to be done first!). Most of us usually use Microsoft Project to create this. Now you can use an Open Source alternative called GanttProject.
GanttProject is very much similar to MS Project, with the tasklist on the left hand pane and the graphical timeline on the right hand pane. There are two tabs on the main window, one for the Gantt Chart and the other for the resources allocated for whatever the Gantt chart is made for. There is also an option to get the corresponding pert chart for the Gantt chart.
The software is not bloated like MS Project and has all the necessary tools to quickly create a chart. Plus, you can export the charts you create into several formats including JPEG and PDF. I never considered Gantt charts seriously and couldn't make head or tail of it. If you have the unique combination of being into Project Management and Linux, GanttProject is the way to go. You can download it from here.
