 What Is It

Do you find yourself wishing you could see your project as it progresses
over time? Is it difficult to predict how much time and effort it will take to
complete your project tasks? If your traditional vertical to-do list doesn’t give you
the insight you need to manage your project this topic will be a great help.

What are the advantages of a chart?

There are numerous advantages of using a chart in agricultural Crop
Production—from allocating resources more effectively to ensure project tasks
are completed on time.
The purpose of a chart is to equip you with the tools you need to oversee
every aspect of your project. You can use a chart to schedule, assign, and track
project tasks from start to completion. Its horizontal structure makes it easy to
see how work stacks up over time so you can actively monitor progress along the
way. Everyone knows what to expect and what it will take to deliver the project
on time and budget.

Benefits of charts in project management

1. Always know what’s going on in your projects
Project managers have a basic need: complete knowledge of a project’s
timeline. Using a chart is the best response to this need. Creating a chart
provides a total overview of the project from start to finish, the members involved
in each step, and all the tasks required to complete the project.

2. Easily communicate the project plan with your team

Communication is critical in project management, and that’s one of the
biggest advantages of charts. If everyone can see the project’s chart, then
everyone can be on the same page by setting clear task dates and
important project milestones.

4
 3. Prevent resource overload
Within a chart, you can delegate tasks to different people and align team
resources without overloading people in the process. When resources are
properly managed, a project is more likely to be completed on time.

4. Track the progress of your project

Once you schedule your project in a chart, you have the ability to check
in and see how the project is progressing. Charts are useful because everyone
on your project can update the percent complete of each of their tasks. This
provides a quick view of how far behind or (in a rare case) ahead of schedule your
project is.

5. Free up brain space

Once you have a plan in a chart, you can start working towards getting
tasks done. There’s no need to stress about remembering the next steps, who's
doing what, or what may have been forgotten. Everything is in the chart. You
can now focus your precious time, effort, and brainpower on actual work.

6. Give your team more clarity and motivation

Members of a project can see when they need to get their tasks done. They
can also see if future tasks depend on them. When others see exactly what their
role is in a project and how others depend on them, it provides real motivation.
7. Provide accountability and coaching
Helps project managers keep their team accountable and provide some
mentoring along the way.

8. Identify ways to reduce costs

One advantage of charts is that they provide a whole suite of features that
make you a better project manager. Personnel costs are often overlooked in
project management.
9. Complete projects ahead of schedule

5
 A chart is like a map. This map makes it easy to see those project
shortcuts. Simple changes produce big results—like slashing a week or month
off a project.
10.Become ridiculously productive
In a team context, productivity is the result of having the right systems
and processes in place. Charts are the ideal tool for teams to come up their
productivity—allowing them to work together seamlessly, efficiently, and
successfully.
To get effective analyzing and communicating results, you may sift through
lots of data for your jobs. When you manage multiple sources of data, it can get
overwhelming and may make you frustrating. You'd better know what should be
tracked and what matters. Also, figure out how you can visualize and analyze
the data to take out key insights and actionable information. More importantly,
if you want to make reports on these results and data efficiently.

Types of Charts
Generally, the most popular types of charts are column charts, bar charts,
pie charts, doughnut charts, line charts, area charts, scatter charts, spider
(radar) charts, gauges, and comparison charts. Here is a quick view of all of these
types of charts. The biggest challenge is how to select the most effective type of
chart for your task.

Column Bar Pie Doughnut Line

Area Scatter Spider and Radar Gauges Comparison

6
 If you want to choose the most suitable chart type, generally, you should
consider the total number of variables, data points, and the period of your data.
Each type of chart has specific advantages. For example, scatter diagrams are
useful for indicating relations between different factors or topics, while line types
are suitable for showing trends.

Column Charts
Column charts are effective for the comparison of at least one set of data
points. The vertical axis, also known as the Y-axis, is often shown in numeric
values. The X-axis on the horizontal line indicates a period.

Typically, data points in column charts

have these kinds: Flowers, Shrubs, Clustered,
stacked, and Trees. You can find trends over time
by using these types in different colors. A
clustered column chart is especially useful in
showing and analyzing multiple data sets. For
stacked column charts, you can quickly check a
specific percentage of the overall data.

Bar Charts
Bar charts are for comparing concepts
and percentages among factors or sets of data.
Users can set different distinct choices for your
respondents, for example, annually or quarterly
sales. You can see bar charts are similar to what
column charts lying on its X-axis.

If you are not sure about when to insert a bar chart for your work, you
should think about the specific kind of your original data and your personal
preference. Usually, compared to other types of charts, bar charts are better for
showing and comparing vast sets of data or numbers.

7
Pie Charts
Pie charts are useful for illustrating and
showing sample break down in an individual
dimension. It is in the shape of a pie to show the
relationship between your data's main and sub-
categories. It is good to use when you are dealing
with categorized groups of data, or if you want to
show differences among data based on a single
variable.

In reality, you can break down any sample data groups into different
categories, for example, by gender or in various age groups. For business
projects, you can use pie charts to represent the importance of one specific factor
on the others. However, for analyzing several different data sets, you should go
for column charts.

Doughnut Charts

Doughnut charts are very similar to pie

charts in terms of the area in the center cut
out. Doughnut charts have several elements,
including the division of segments, and the
meaning of arc of an individual section. Doughnut charts are suitable for
presenting the relationship between the proportions of different data groups. In
this case, users can focus on the proportional areas of the slices. Doughnuts
also cover more details than pie charts via their blank space.

Line Charts

This type of chart is normally used for explaining trends over periods. The
vertical axis always displays a numeric amount, while the X-axis indicates some

8
other related factors. Line charts can be shown with markers in the shape of
circles, squares, or other formats.

Line charts are not as colorful as other

charts, but it is evident for users to see the
trend within a specific period for a single set of
data. Alternatively, you can compare trends for
several different data groups. Managers or
financial leaders may use such charts to
measure and analyze long-term trends in sales, financial data, or marketing
statistics.

Area Charts

Area charts are very similar to line

charts, but the previous ones have solid plot
lines. Area charts are ideal for displaying
trends over a period for single or several
categories, or the change between several data
groups. Area charts have two main types: the
stacked and the completed stacked area chart.
Both of these types can show the nature of your selected data sets.

Scatter Charts

Scatter charts are ideal for analyzing

how different goals settle around the main
topic and their various dimensions. For
example, you can quickly compare types of
products based on budgets and selling
prices. Scatter charts have some different
elements: markers, points, and straight lines.

9
All of these factors can indicate and connect disparate data units. You can
choose to draw a scatter chart only in markers or lines. Generally, markers are
ideal for small data points, while lines are useful for large data points.

Scatter charts have similar points with line charts since they both use
vertical and horizontal axes to show different data points, but scatter types can
also show the degree of difference in one variable to the other, which is known
as correlation. Correlations can be positive, negative, or equals to zero. Positive
ones, for example, mean data increases simultaneously most of the time based
on the given time.

Spider and Radar Charts

Spider and radar charts are also known as

web charts, star charts, or polar charts. If you have
a large set of different data groups, using spider
and radar charts are better than column ones. The
radar chart is useful for showing multiple data
groups in terms of 2D diagrams of at least three
variables on axes.

Gauge Charts
Factors in gauge charts regularly show as
individual value. Such indicators are usually in red
for the wrong message, or in green ones for correct
ones. Gauge charts are ideal for showing KPIs
(Key Performance Indicators), especially for
business plans. Therefore, they are usually used
by managers or employers for ongoing
assignments.

The main advantages of gauge charts are presenting improvement in a

goal; showing a factor such as KPI; representing a value and meaning of

10
individual measurement, revealing details that are easy to understand. However,
one of the weak points of gauges is its limitation of showing more than one data
point. In this case, a column chart is a better choice.

Comparison Charts

Comparison charts, also known as cluster diagrams, are typically used to

compare between at least two objects, units, or groups of data. The chart can
provide a visual comparison of both qualitative
and quantitative details. There are types of
comparison charts, including comparisons
between components, items, time series,
correlations, and distributions frequency. The
primary purpose of comparison charts is to show
an outline of possibilities for different
circumferences.

The uses of comparison diagrams covering research topics, the decision-

making process for both business and science subjects. For larger organizations,
decision-makers may need an all-around comparison with rich details to analyze
the progress of different data groups and data from competitors over time.

Tips to Use Charts and Graphs

Data Values

You should remove any excess details such as colors, text, or lines from
your charts. Try to simplify a single chart, or you can separate it into two or more
charts. The variables in your chart should be directly connected to the numerical
units of your data groups. You should also consider inflation when switching
between different currencies.

11
Structure

Make sure that your charts present clear and easy-to-read comparisons.
Therefore, you should structure your datasets in clear order based on your
selected values.

Indicators
Indicators are also crucial for highlighting your projects. Correctly insert
labels on your lines, bar, or pies in your charts to avoid indirect lookups.

Colors and Axes

Try to simplify the color categories of your charts. Use the same color in a
different intensity within the same classes. Make your charts have the same color
pattern for the same axes or labels. If you cannot see colors in your printed
charts clearly, you should change existing colors.
