Diagrama de Gantt

El diagrama de Gantt es una potente herramienta para la gestión de proyectos. Representa visualmente el calendario de un proyecto, permitiendo a los gestores y miembros del equipo ver de un vistazo las fechas de inicio y fin de todo el proyecto. El diagrama muestra las tareas o actividades a lo largo de un eje temporal horizontal, indicando la duración de cada tarea, su secuencia y cómo se solapan o se ejecutan simultáneamente.

En un diagrama de Gantt, cada tarea se representa mediante una barra, cuya longitud y posición reflejan la fecha de inicio, la duración y la fecha de finalización de la tarea. Este formato facilita la comprensión de las dependencias entre tareas, cuando una tarea debe completarse antes de que otra pueda comenzar. Además, los diagramas de Gantt pueden incluir hitos, que son acontecimientos u objetivos significativos en el calendario del proyecto, marcados como un símbolo distinto.

En el contexto de la creación de diagramas de Gantt, PlantUML ofrece varias ventajas. Ofrece un enfoque basado en texto para la creación de diagramas, lo que facilita el seguimiento de los cambios mediante sistemas de control de versiones. Este enfoque es especialmente beneficioso para los equipos que ya están acostumbrados a entornos de codificación basados en texto. La sintaxis de PlantUML para diagramas de Gantt es sencilla, lo que permite realizar modificaciones y actualizaciones rápidas en el calendario del proyecto. Además, la integración de PlantUML con otras herramientas y su capacidad para generar diagramas dinámicamente a partir de texto lo convierten en una opción versátil para los equipos que buscan automatizar y agilizar su documentación de gestión de proyectos. El uso de PlantUML para diagramas de Gantt combina así la claridad y eficacia de la planificación visual de proyectos con la flexibilidad y el control de un sistema basado en texto.

Declaración de tareas

El Gantt se describe en lenguaje natural, utilizando frases muy sencillas (sujeto-verbo-complemento).

Tareas definidas mediante corchetes.

Carga de trabajo

La carga de trabajo de cada tarea se especifica mediante el verbo requires, indicando la cantidad de trabajo necesaria en términos de días.

🎉 Copied! 

@startgantt
[Prototype design] requires 15 days
[Test prototype] requires 10 days
-- All example --
[Task 1 (1 day)] requires 1 day
[T2 (5 days)] requires 5 days
[T3 (1 week)] requires 1 week
[T4 (1 week and 4 days)] requires 1 week and 4 days
[T5 (2 weeks)] requires 2 weeks
@endgantt

Una semana suele entenderse como un lapso de siete días. Sin embargo, en contextos en los que ciertos días se designan como "cerrados" (como los fines de semana), una semana puede redefinirse en términos de días "no cerrados". Por ejemplo, si el sábado y el domingo están marcados como cerrados, entonces una semana en este contexto equivaldrá a una carga de trabajo de cinco días, correspondientes a los días laborables restantes.

Inicio

Su inicio se define utilizando el verbo start:
