Management


Operations Management
A. Gantt charts are an important part of Project Management. To find out more please visit
http://www.ganttchart.com/ and check out the examples at http://www.ganttchart.com/Examples.html (free trial at http://www.kidasa.com/kidasa-products.html ). Other free software is http://www.viewpath.com/ . For a tutorial on how to create a Gantt chart in Excel, please see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CW_wGSFavTc .
Create a Gantt chart for a project of your choi
ce- perhaps a current or future project at your work, your career plan/project, an event in your career or family life, etc.
At your discretion, review or try PERT CPM software such as http://www.edrawsoft.com/PERT-Chart.php and http://www.smartdraw.com/specials/pert-chart-software.htm .
Create a PERT diagram for a project of your choice (could be the project for which you created the Gantt chart, or other- must include data) using the free downloads of the software above or other software/application. Aim to create a very professional-looking visual. Imagine that you are the project manager and that you are presenting the diagram to top executives in your organization. Include a brief explanation and a conclusion that you believe would be valuable for the executives and would showcase your skills in project management.
