What is a Bar/Gantt Chart
Gantt Chart is a simple bar chart
was introduced by Henry Gantt around 1910 1915
Simply method to illustrates a project schedule
a common technique to represent the phases and activities of WBS
Illustrates the relationship between project activities & time
Can show the multiple project activities on one chart
Provides a simple & easy way to understand activities and timing

Bar/Gantt Chart
The bars in rows represent the corresponding task
Horizontal positions indicate start and end points of a task
Bar length denotes the duration of an activity
Easy to compare task durations
can be resources allocated
Precedence relationships can be represented using arrows
Critical activities are usually highlighted
Graphical representation variation in activities
*

Advantages
Simple visual communication to others
Task durations can be compared easily
Good for scheduling resources
Low key
Additional information can be added
a good starting point for project planning.
Disadvantages
Dependencies are more difficult to represent
Logical diagrams are difficult to show
Minor changes may result in major changes
.

Disadvantages
Usually difficult to update real time
Prevents flexibility in project planning
Usually does not include project costs or resources.

Two methods
1. Forward Schedule: Starting the chart with a given start date and moving forward until the given deadline
2. Backward Schedule: Starting with the final deadline and logically working backwards to find the start date.
*
Methods
*
CSMT 401 Swarnali Ghosh Dastider
Step by Step
Identify start date and end date.
Create WBS and activities
Determine time required for each activity
Determine dependencies
Using either Forward or Backward Scheduling create graph indicating the timeline and list of activities.
Represent the graph

CSMT401 Swarnali Ghosh Dastider
What is a Project?
Is a collection of tasks that must be completed in minimum time or at minimal cost.
temporary undertaking to create a unique product or service
Altering something to the desired condition
Unique, two projects are never done one exact way
Several related activities
Focuses on the outcome

New products
Improving quality of a product

Program
Group of related and coordinated projects to obtain benefits not available from managing the individual projects
May be on-going, operational work.
to obtain broad organizational or technical objectives.
Differs in scope, benefits realization, time, and other variables with a project.
Does not have specific beginning and an end

Project Planning
Includes
Steps required to accomplish the project objectives
List of tasks needed to be done at each step
Division of talks i.e Work Breakdown Structures
Estimation of time and resources each task may require
Time required for each task/step
The inter-dependencies of tasks
Milestones, Deliverables, payments etc
Risk assessment
Quality control
Defines completion

Project scheduling
Breaks down the project into activities
Determining times for activities
Sequences activities
Establishes objectives
Determining available resources
Identifying precedence relationships
Help in resource management
Determining critical activities and interdependence

Objectives of Project Scheduling
Successful completion of the project as early as possible by identifying the earliest start and finish of each activity.
Calculating the likelihood a project will be completed within a certain time period.
Finding the minimum cost schedule needed to complete the project by a certain date.

Tasks of a project
Tasks also called activities. They
include estimated completion time and sometimes costs of the smaller
parts of the project that collectively will complete the project
Activity completion time is related to the amount of available resources
The degree of activity details depends on the application and the level of specificity of data.
Help identify appropriate managerial tools for project control
