its a project

Description Now that you have completed your WBS, it is time to go to the next level of developing the Project Schedule. Developing a schedule requires estimating the duration for each activity, the start time and required completing time for the overall project. To establish a basis from which to calculate a schedule using the estimated durations for the activities, it is necessary to select a project estimated start time for when the project is expected to begin, and a project required completion time for when the project must be done. These two times (or dates) define the overall window of time which the project must be completed. Once you have an estimate duration for each activity and have established an overall window of time in which the project must be completed you must determine (based on durations and sequence) whether the project can be done by the required completion time. To determine this, you can develop a project schedule that provides a timetable for each activity and shows the earliest and latest times. (Note: For this assignment, it is not necessary to calculate slack time.) Now that you have a schedule illustrate it using a Gantt chart. This is the most popular and useful way Now that you have a schedule illustrate it using a Gantt chart. This is the most popular and useful way of showing activities (tasks or events) displayed against time. On the left of the chart is a list of the activities and along the top is a suitable time scale. Each activity is represented by a bar; the position and length of the bar reflects the start date, duration and end date of the activity. This allows you to see at a glance the following: What the various activities are When each activity begins and ends How long each activity is scheduled to last Where activities overlap with other activities, and by how much The start and end date of the whole project There is an example in your e-text Figure 6.11 and I provide an example in my video as well. There are many online resources to help with creating your Gantt Chart such as Excel, MS Project, YouTube videos, etc. You could even use grid paper and create it manually.
