I need a package to draw a Gantt chart in LaTeX, the primary criteria is just: ease of use. I am spending too much time learning "packages" here and there, this just needs to get a simple job done. I might be interested to know which ones are "better" for later reference, include them if you like, but for now... quick and dirty is golden.

13I think you should have a look to the pgfgantt package.– Claudio FiandrinoJul 19, 2012 at 9:01

Surely there is a package for that (there is always a package! :-)) but just in case you find it useful, I did a quick&dirty solution via tikz long time ago, when I was learning TikZ. I published it in a (now abandoned) wiki at jldiaz.wikidot.com/en-tikz-example:gantt– JLDiazJul 19, 2012 at 9:01

searching ctan returns versions using metapost, pstricks and pgf, as well as a latex contrib package rtsched; i've not used any of them (i'm just the guy who writes the catalogue). ... so @claudio -- there isn't a package, there are several ;-)– wasteofspaceJul 19, 2012 at 9:10

Like Claudio, I suggest you to use the pgfGantt
package, which I find quite simple, and whose documentation is quite clear.
Here is a MWE, with custom label, progress bar and relations:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pgfgantt}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}[tbp]
\begin{center}
\begin{ganttchart}[y unit title=0.4cm,
y unit chart=0.5cm,
vgrid,hgrid,
title label anchor/.style={below=-1.6ex},
title left shift=.05,
title right shift=-.05,
title height=1,
progress label text={},
bar height=0.7,
group right shift=0,
group top shift=.6,
group height=.3]{1}{24}
%labels
\gantttitle{Week}{24} \\
\gantttitle{Monday}{4}
\gantttitle{Tuesday}{4}
\gantttitle{Wednesday}{4}
\gantttitle{Thursday}{4}
\gantttitle{Friday}{4}
\gantttitle{Saturday}{4} \\
%tasks
\ganttbar{first task}{1}{2} \\
\ganttbar{task 2}{3}{8} \\
\ganttbar{task 3}{9}{10} \\
\ganttbar{task 4}{11}{15} \\
\ganttbar[progress=33]{task 5}{20}{22} \\
\ganttbar{task 6}{18}{19} \\
\ganttbar{task 7}{16}{18} \\
\ganttbar[progress=0]{task 8}{21}{24}
%relations
\ganttlink{elem0}{elem1}
\ganttlink{elem0}{elem3}
\ganttlink{elem1}{elem2}
\ganttlink{elem3}{elem4}
\ganttlink{elem1}{elem5}
\ganttlink{elem3}{elem5}
\ganttlink{elem2}{elem6}
\ganttlink{elem3}{elem6}
\ganttlink{elem5}{elem7}
\end{ganttchart}
\end{center}
\caption{Gantt Chart}
\end{figure}
\end{document}

28This version yields several errors with me, I think because you're not using the current version (pgfgantt v4.0) which - as the documentation says - is not fully backwards compatible. The example from the documentation works fine (section 2.1 on page 3).– JokerAug 8, 2013 at 13:59

3@Joker Here is the fix. It should be included in this answer: tex.stackexchange.com/questions/587422/… Apr 13, 2021 at 3:01
