Project Management Methods:

1. Gantt Chart - represents activities and their start and completion times, but not the relationships among different activities. Advantages of Gantt charts are their simplicity and their linearity. The reviewer can visually perceive the length of each activity.


Use Gantt chart at project scheduling stage to

• Assess time characteristics to a project
• Show the task order
• Define resources involved
• Show links between scheduled tasks

Use Gantt chart at project planning stage to

• Monitor project completion
• Display the results of correctional activities
• Show links between scheduled tasks
  
  Gantt Chart examples:
  
  
  Gantt Chart - Presentation
  
  
  Gantt Chart - Schedule
  
  
  
  Gantt Chart - Marketing
  
  
  2. PERT(Project Evaluation and Review Technique)Chart - shows events, the activities required to reach the events, and the events, and the interdependencies among activities. The events are usually completion milestones. Advantages of PERT Charts is that the viewer can easily see the interdependencies among activities. So that possible bottlenecks and alternative paths to an event can easily be visualized. Like Gantt charts, PERT charts clearly show parrallel processes. However, PERT charts can also show a critical path that must be completed before the project.
