Google's announcement has done a lot of the legwork for me already, as they specifically call out "interact with project information easier and faster, while also improving your ability to manage things like marketing campaigns, project milestones, schedules, cross-team collaborations, and more." If the chart is posted on the wall, for example, an easy way to show the current time is with a heavy dark string hung vertically across the chart with two thumbtacks.Note: only the background color changes, while the font color stays black, so stick to lighter colors to retain legibility. Place a vertical marker to show where you are on the timeline.
For tasks in progress, estimate how far along you are and fill in that much of the bar. Use the Gantt chartĪs events and activities take place, fill in the diamonds and bars to show completion. Proof/reviewĬheck that every task of the project is on the chart. Draw just the outlines of the bars and diamonds don't fill them in. Align the left end of the bar with the time the activity begins, and align the right end with the time the activity concludes.
For activities that occur over a period of time (such as developing a plan or holding a series of interviews), draw a bar that spans the appropriate times on the timeline. For events that happen at a point in time (such as a presentation), draw a diamond under the time the event must happen. Draw task axis (vertical)ĭown the left side of the page, write each task and milestone of the project in order. Mark it off in an appropriate scale for the length of the tasks (days, weeks, months, etc.).
Identify the sequence: Which tasks must be finished before a following task can begin, and which can happen simultaneously? Which tasks must be completed before each milestone?ĭraw a horizontal time axis along the top or bottom of a page.Identify the time required for each task.Identify key milestones in the project by brainstorming a list, or by drawing a flowchart, or storyboard for the project.Identify the tasks needed to complete the project.
