Project scheduling information in the form of Gantt charts:
Help plan out the tasks that need to be completed
Give a high level overview of a project schedule, including each individual task
Allow you to plan which people (resources) will be responsible for overseeing them, and the task starting & finishing times
Help you work out the critical path for a project where you must complete it by a particular date
When a project is under way a Gantt chart helps you to monitor whether it is on schedule. If it is not, it allows you to pinpoint the remedial action necessary to put it back on schedule.
An essential concept behind project planning (and critical path analysis) is that some activities are dependent on other activities being completed first. As a shallow example, it is not a good idea to start building a bridge before you have designed it!
These dependent activities need to be completed in a sequence, with each stage being more-or-less completed before the next activity can begin. We can call dependent activities 'sequential' or 'linear'.
Other activities are not dependent on completion of any other tasks. These may be done at any time before or after a particular stage is reached. These are nondependent or 'concurrent' (parallel) tasks.
Gantt charts can be created in specialist project management software (we will use The Gantt Project software - opensource free project scheduling & management software) and use Excel: Gantt charts a spreadsheet programme.
