The Actual Strategic Phases Gantt Chart shows how Actual Strategic Phases change over time. The rows represent the Actual Strategic Phase (Enterprise Mission, Actual Enduring Task, Whole Life Enterprise, Actual Enterprise Phase, Value Stream) in the roadmap. The bars represent the related information of the Actual Strategic Phase.

To increase the diagram readability, use legends. To learn how to use legends, see Legends chapter.
