I also had to do this for my freshman engineering course. I can understand how at first this chart feels excessive, but overall it is a fantastic way to organize ideas and optimize a set of strategies.For my engineering project, my group and I had to create a prototype prosthetic; by utilizing and comparing Grant chats, we chose the optimum design and timetable for the prosthetic. I also love how Grant charts make every team member accountable, as this tool is great for showing the workload and equalizing it among group members.

I am glad to have been introduced to these now. I am a fan of different ways of viewing data, and this is a new way for me. The dependency relationships between tasks is a very useful measure to keep track of. The benefits of them in software development are clear since there are many developer all working on the same project, which explains their resurgence.

I had to make a Gantt chart in a freshman engineering course. It was my first time ever making one, and at first, I thought that it was so much extra work for a simple timetable of events. However, I found myself going back to the chart throughout the semester and checking if we were hitting our milestones when we said we would. Gantt charts are unique in the fact that you can measure the speed of your progress and see if you are moving slower or quicker than expected. In the case of our genre analysis, the Gantt chart is very small and limited to what little time we have, but if we were doing this over a full semester, we would be able to add more tasks and spend more time per task.
