Project planning and schedule: creation of the Gantt chart of a project

OBJECTIVES:

The final project has the objective to reinforce the knowledge on the principle of construction project management and develop problem-solving skills in project planning and scheduling and in the use of project management methods and tools.

BRIEF:

Analyze the examples of Gantt charts and the related project: identify job steps or activities, their sequential relations and the overall job logics, the restrains, and the organization of the job steps in the time frame of the project. Then, identify a construction project and, based on the project activities and the construction environment identify the sequential relations, the logics, the restrains, the milestones and build the Gantt chart to properly allocate the activities on a time frame. Use a software for project management (such as Microsoft Project or Wondershare Edrawproj or other suitable software).
