Thank you for your quick reply,

None of the solutions discussed in the links above will work for me, as I would need to use minutes, hours and days at the same diagram.
If I equal 1 day to 1 minute the resulting diagram will be humongous (and unreadable). I will also have to find a way to remove the year / month / day heading located at the top of the diagram.

Regarding the question
"If we go under day level, then we have to think about how to define working hours.

I mean, we cannot assume that a day is a 24 hours working day. So we have to define working hours (for example : 8am -> 12pm then 2pm-> 6pm).

Or we have to works with fractionnal load. (A task during 4.75 days for example).

Not sure which solution is the best."

I propose the following:
workweek, (with or without date range): Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun
workweek: all
workweek: Mon - Wed, Fri

If a day is defined as 00:00 to 24:00
working hours, (with or without day or date range): all
working hours: 00:00 - 24:00
working hours: 9:00 - 12:00, 14:00 - 18:00
working hours: 8:00 - 18:00
working hours: 8:00 - 20:00
working hours: 8:05 - 10:15, 14:30 - 17:00, 18:11 - 19:01
