ClickUp's Gantt chart and Timeline view both draw tasks as bars on a calendar, and they answer different questions. Gantt shows dependencies and cascading reschedules. Timeline groups work by team or assignee to show who is busy when.

Two views that look alike
Gantt and Timeline both place a project's tasks as bars on a calendar. This walkthrough uses one website launch project, eleven tasks from kickoff to go-live, in both views to show which question each one answers.
Gantt: how the work connects
The arrows in a Gantt chart are dependencies. Wireframes cannot start until discovery and stakeholder interviews are done, and design sign-off waits on the final visual design. When a task slips, dragging its bar moves every dependent task with it, so the chart shows what one delay does to the rest of the plan.
Timeline: who is busy
Timeline view groups tasks into lanes, here by a Workstream custom field so each team gets its own row. Overlapping bars show crunch periods, such as design and content working at the same time in late October and early November. Grouping by assignee instead shows who is carrying the most work at once.
