The +Precoce platform is a system developed in partnership between the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul and Embrapa Gado de Corte and provides access to rural technicians and beef cattle producers to the improved production systems researched by Embrapa. During its development it was noted that one of the main problems of the platform was the user experience since its current interface shows information in tables and text and could be improved through a more intuitive graphical interface. Thus, the objective of this work was to analyze the main characteristics (elements) of user-friendly graphical interfaces, to develop a new more cognitive interface (modeling and implementation), based on the Gantt Chart, to represent the simulations data from the Platform +Precoce, evaluate and validate the new interface generated considering specialists and end users. Therefore, considering the literature in the area, it was observed that the use of the Gantt Chart to represent the simulation of the beef cattle reproduction cycle proved to be an adequate metaphor. Thus, a new interface was developed based on the Gantt Chart to represent the data from the simulations of the Platform + Precoce, whose main characteristics are: to allow data entry using a JSON generated by the platform, to interpret the simulation data using Javascript, design and present the schedule based on Gantt Chart that represents the data of the simulations.
