Mastering the Gantt Chart like a pro!

Mastering the Gantt Chart like a pro!

The objective of this training course is to enable beginners and intermediate project developers to create and update a Gantt chart or diagram in real time to manage a complex project and share real-time progress of tasks and subtasks. More and more European Programs ask when a project is filed that a Gantt chart is part of the supporting documents. It will prove the correct planning of the tasks over the duration of the project.

Used terminology:

• Gantt chart

• Mental map, mind map

• Work breakdown structure (WBS), project breakdown structure

• Organization, planning

Resources included in the course:

• 21 videos including presentations, commented slideshows or screencasts

• Links to wikipedia, "mindmup", "Freeplane" and "Gantt Project" software

• Images of mental maps

Course Structure:

The course is divided into four main parts:

1. Understand the Gantt chart: history, software

2. Construct the diagram: the staircase method, the mental map, the logical network

3. Install and use the "Gantt Project" software

Why take this course?

The Gantt chart, although simple to understand, can be difficult to implement in a complex project if it is not properly and exhaustively "thought" upstream.

In this simple and easy to learn course, you will learn step by step how to "decomplex" and demystify this diagram to transform it into a real project management tool!

Create a project management diagram. Use the "Gantt Project" software effectively. Communicate progress in real time.
