What type of view does Smartsheet provide for an overall project timeline?

Smartsheet provides a Gantt view for displaying the overall project timeline, which is essential for visualizing project schedules. The Gantt view allows users to see tasks along a timeline, illustrating the duration of each task, its start and end dates, and dependencies between tasks. This graphical representation helps project managers and team members to quickly assess the project's timeline, track progress, and identify any scheduling conflicts.

In the Gantt view, each task is represented by a horizontal bar that shows its duration, while the timeline at the top of the view helps users understand the sequence and overlapping of tasks over time. This makes it an ideal choice for detailed project planning and monitoring since it provides clarity on how all tasks fit together over the course of the project.

Other views, such as List view, Summary view, and Kanban view, serve different purposes and are suited for tasks like managing simple checklists, summarizing project data, or tracking workflow stages, but do not provide the same level of detail or chronological layout for the entire project timeline as the Gantt view does.
