floatspgfgantttikz-pgf

I have created the following Gantt chart using pgfgantt package.

enter image description here

I want to increase the width of Month columns and would appreciate if you suggest me any other efficient approach to achieve the same Gantt chart. Thanks

Change the x unit which by default is 0.5 cm. See page 7 in pgfgantt documentation.
