Which Smartsheet feature would you use to visualize project milestones?

Using Gantt charts is the most effective way to visualize project milestones because they provide a graphical representation of a project timeline. Gantt charts display tasks along a timeline, showing their duration and sequencing, which allows for immediate visual identification of key milestones. Milestones are typically represented as significant points on this timeline, marking important events or deadlines.

In contrast, task lists focus on the details of the tasks themselves—such as descriptions, assignees, and statuses—but do not provide a visual representation of the timeline. Calendar views also help organize tasks over time but are less effective for illustrating dependencies and the overall flow of the project compared to Gantt charts. Sheet summaries offer a snapshot of data from the sheet but lack the visual components that enhance understanding of project milestones and their relation to the entire project schedule. Thus, Gantt charts are specifically designed to meet the needs of visualizing milestones within the context of a project timeline.
