Training and Development Gantt Chart
What is it?
This template is a visual planning tool designed to map out the full lifecycle of a training or learning programme. It helps you structure key phases—from initial needs assessment to delivery and evaluation—across a clear timeline, while tracking progress and alignment across activities.
By using a Gantt chart format, it provides an overview of what needs to happen, when, and in what sequence, making complex training initiatives easier to plan, manage, and communicate.
Who is it for?
This template is suitable for anyone designing, managing, or delivering training and development initiatives, including:
Sustainability and impact consultants
Learning and development professionals
Programme managers and facilitators
SMEs and start-ups developing internal or external training
NGOs, public sector organisations, and educational institutions
It works equally well for short workshops, multi-week programmes, or long-term capacity-building initiatives.
How to best use it
Adapt the time frame (days, weeks, or months) to match your programme scope.
Adjust the suggested sections (Needs Assessment, Design & Development, Delivery, Evaluation) to reflect your context.
Tailor each activity to your specific programme—this template is intentionally flexible.
Ensure tasks follow a logical order and identify any dependencies between them.
Use progress indicators to monitor status and quickly identify delays or bottlenecks.
Use the board as a shared planning space with your team, clients, or partners.
Update the chart as your programme evolves and use it as a learning tool for future iterations.
