Week 7 Gantt Chart
The Gantt chart is a scheduling tool that uses bars to
represent project activities and to show when the project, and each activity
within the project, starts and ends against a horizontal time scale. Having a
Gantt chart ensures that your project participants have the necessary time
allocated on their calendars and are available to perform their activities.
