7 Project Planning programme evaluation and review technique (PERT) PERT analysis good for logical flow and Critical Path Analysis (CPA) but hard to visualise actual task durations The Gantt chart provides a simple graphical representation of task duration, plotted as a function of time VI.7

8 The Project Gantt Chart VI.8

9 Gantt Chart easy to grasp at a glance good for explaining project plans to others impact of human resource changes clearly visible on timescale and end date good for monitoring project progress (more on this in next lecture) VI.9

10 TASK LIST DELIVERABLES OBJECTIVE TIMING PERT & CPA Gantt RESOURCE ALLOCATION RESOURCE VI.10

11 summary top down approach to project plans is common sense objective, deliverables, tasks, sub-tasks network diagram (PERT) illustrates task precedence (order) and helps to identify the critical path Gantt chart is good for explaining the project to others and clearly shows key project dates (e.g. milestones), and the effect resourcing has on these dates VI.11

12 homework task design a project plan for your Applied Chemistry Master s thesis I recommend you use MS-Project Professional 2007 prepare a Gantt chart of your project to clearly show tasks, duration and chronology (precedence), project start date, and end date (viva/graduation!) submission date 16/12/10 Download a free trial version of MS-Project here, or see Petar Kassel about using the lab PC in ZOAK VI.12
