About this Software Development Project Gantt Chart template
This template helps project managers visualize the entire software development life cycle. It tracks tasks, durations, and dependencies from the early planning stages through final deployment and post-release support.
Requirements Phase
The requirements phase is the foundation of any software project. It involves collecting detailed user needs and analyzing them for technical feasibility. This ensures the development team understands exactly what to build from the start.
- Requirement Gathering
- Requirement Analysis
Design Phase
During the design phase, architects and designers create the blueprint for the system. They focus on internal logic and the user interface. This stage bridges the gap between abstract requirements and actual code implementation.
- System Design
- UI/UX Design
Development Phase
The development phase is where the actual coding happens. Engineers build the frontend, backend, and database structures. This is typically the longest stage and requires careful coordination between technical teams to ensure seamless integration.
- Frontend Development
- Backend Development
- Database Setup
Testing Phase
Testing ensures the software is functional, secure, and user-friendly. Teams perform various tests to find and fix bugs before the public launch. This rigorous process guarantees a high-quality product that meets all initial requirements.
- Unit Testing
- Integration Testing
- User Acceptance Testing
Release Phase
The release phase covers the final deployment and the transition to live operations. It includes the official launch and immediate support for users. Proper planning here ensures a smooth rollout and high customer satisfaction from day one.
- Deployment
- Post-Release Support
