Making this chart is easy. I used
Excel to "draw" the chart. In more sophisticated programs, the
chart is data driven. The selection of methods |
|
|
is
mostly one based on need and the conventions of your organization. |
|
|
|
|
To facilitate detail at the weekly
stage I simply made the columns narrower and assigned week numbers to them.
You could use dates if that |
|
|
worked better for your needs. |
|
|
|
|
To
use for reporting, each week I move the dark vertical bar over by one grid.
Now it is at the end of Week 9, next week I will move the bar to |
|
|
the end of Week 10. Then I will go
back and change the colors of the bars for Week 9 to show their status. You
will see that for Preparing unit |
|
|
specific graphics I was a week late
at the end of Week 9. I put a gray box under Week 13 to show that the action
would end up taking a week |
|
|
longer than scheduled. |
|
|
|
|
The most important thing to
remember about Gantt Charts is that they are designed to provide information.
In very long and complex projects, |
|
|
the Gantt Charts produced by
programs such as Microsoft Project become very detailed and if printed would
fill several pages or need to be |
|
|
run on a plotter so the entire
thing can be pinned to a wall. Most multimedia development projects are a lot
less complex and the form of |
|
|
chart shown here is often all that
is needed. |
