What is the name of this kind of chart? Pantogram?
Thanks a lot!!

El Pantograma es un instrumento gráfico que permite visualizar rápidamente el conjunto de Proyectos que un organismo (Departamento, Sección, etc) o Equipo realiza o va a realizar en un período de tiempo.
Consiste en un cuadro de doble entrada en el que las filas representan los Proyectos y las columnas la Información a resaltar (Metas, Objetivos, Tiempos, Responsables, Presupuesto, etc).

English translation:Projects Planning Report or Projects Status Report
Explanation:
This is a more descriptive name, but I am also in agreement with OSO - this is a Gantt type chart.

Cristina,
You are right. A "pure" gantt chart is basically a time line. Based on my background in project management, this sounds like a projects status/situation report. It is a project status report for multiple projects. If you look up pantogram in google pictures, there are only a couple of relevant graphics. I think that pantogram must be a name chosen for internal use by the company you are working with.

Hola Cristina,
Una humilde sugerencia con base en la descripción en español que nos das de "pantograma".

"Gantt Chart (also known as a Chronogram)
The summary of a work plan, presented in the form of a chart showing the major activities planned in their chronological sequence, as well as the week or month in which they will be conducted and the person responsible for carrying them out. It sometimes includes the resources that will be necessary to carry out the activities. "
