I find it hard to visualise projects across the years on a Gantt chart, especially when there are seasonal tasks repeating.

It would be nice to have a tool that looks like a pregnancy calculator disc, that emphasises the repeating of seasons, etc:

Is there any formal type of diagram or tool that does that?

The reliability in pregnancy is much higher than any type of work task. It is 266 days from conception, with only a very small variability except when you have something that is abnormal. Task duration is not like that, where "normal" can have a much larger range. Therefore, creating a tool like this for work would have an extremely low reliability and, therefore, validity.

  • I'm not suggesting static time allocation. This is pretty much a Gantt chart that is "bent" instead of horizontal, and there should definitely be room for variability :)
