2. GANTT CHART
• Gantt chart is a type of a bar chart that is used
for illustrating project schedules. Gantt charts
can be used in any projects that involve effort,
resources, milestones, and deliveries.
• Although now regarded as a common charting
technique, Gantt charts were considered
revolutionary when first introduced. In
recognition of Henry Gantt's contributions, the
Henry Laurence Gantt Medal is awarded for
distinguished achievement in management and
in community service. This chart is also used in
Information Technology to represent data that
has been collected.

3. • Gantt charts are used for project
management purposes. In order to use
Gantt charts in a project, there are a few
initial requirements fulfilled by the
project.
 First of all, the project should have a sufficiently
detailed Work Breakdown Structure (WBS).
 Secondly, the project should have identified its
milestones and deliveries.

4. Project managers try to define the work break down structure while
creating Gantt chart. This is one of the frequently practiced errors in
using Gantt charts. Gantt charts are not designed to assist WBS process;
rather Gantt charts are for task progress tracking.

5. CRITICAL PATH METHOD
(CPM)
• The Critical Path Method (CPM) is one of
several related techniques for doing project
planning. CPM is for projects that are made up
of a number of individual "activities." If some
of the activities require other activities to
finish before they can start, then the project
becomes a complex web of activities.

6. CPM Provides The Following
Benefits :
• Provides a graphical view of the project.
• Predicts the time required to complete the
project.
• Shows which activities are critical to
maintaining the schedule and which are not.

7. Activities
An activity is a specific task. It gets something
done. An activity can have these properties:
•names of any other activities that have to be
completed before this one can start
•a projected normal time duration
If you want to do a speedup cost analysis, you also
have to know these things about each activity:
•A cost to complete
•A shorter time to complete on a crash basis
•The higher cost of completing it on a crash basis
