GANTT Charts


In an earlier video, Michael talked about how to decide on and schedule project tasks, and introduced GANTT charts. In this video, he discusses GANTT charts further and worked through a chart for an example project. You may need to produce a GANTT chart as part of the documentation for your project.

The main two limitations of GANTT charts are:

They rely on an effective work breakdown structure having been completed

They won't work properly if you don't update them regularly with any delays in the project timing.

Can you think of any other potential problems that could arise if you or your group are not using the GANTT charts properly?
