A project management intern was asked about Gantt Charts. The questions were specifically about what should be presented across the top of the chart.

While the project name and its overall duration are important, they do not appear across the top of the Gantt Chart. Instead, this information is usually provided in the title or header of the chart, not as a time scale. The duration of the project is reflected through the tasks and their respective timelines beneath the time scale.

Main deliverables and requirements are typically listed on the vertical axis of the Gantt Chart, representing the tasks and milestones to be achieved. They do not belong at the top of the chart, as the primary function of the upper section is to indicate the time frame for those deliverables.

Float time, or slack, indicates the amount of time that a task can be delayed without affecting the project's overall timeline. While it is an important concept in project management, it is not presented across the top of the Gantt Chart but may be indicated within the task bars themselves or in accompanying notes.
