Publication Production Time and Task Allocation Gantt Chart (88K PDF
document)
Of course it simply isn’t possible to define a “typical”
schedule for a publication. PubCom's exclusive chart does not (cannot!)
show time frames, since the amount of time to complete a four-page brochure
versus a 300-page book would vary far too widely. What you can
learn from this chart is the relative amount of time needed for various
steps in comparison with one another. It also clarifies where in the production
workflow the different tasks are performed, their sequence, and who performs
them.
