Gantt chart / Timeplan

A Gantt chart is a 'table' showing your projected use of time to solve the problem you are undertaking. The table should have 2 rows for each 'area' / topic / section of your coursework, showing when you planned to complete an area / topic / section and then when it actually happened (in a different colour). You do not lose marks if you do not stick to your timeplan! This is basic Project Management.

You need to include a Key as to what the colours you use mean i.e. planned, actual.

The columns should be separated ideally by weeks, or you can use dates if you wish.

At the end of your project, before handing in, you should revisit this time plan filling in all areas and add text boxes to explain what happened and why.

NB Your deadline will be February half term 2024

This is an example table sheet showing you an estimated time plan for your project.

You need to change the dates and key colours for your project. I would recommend doing this table in Excel, Pages or Numbers.

This is a great example as it includes text boxes to explain what happened. The text boxes were added at the end of the project.
