Gantt Chart

With all the tactics out and being finalized, the team split into three groups for the final projects, a budget team, a Gantt chart team and the presentation team. I joined the Gantt chart team.

A Gantt chart lists all the tactics on one side and has the length of the campaign divided into sections on the top. X's are added into the column of the dates that tactic is to be performed.

With three of us on the team this seemed like an easy task. We got together within two days of the assignment and set up the template. Then all that had to be done was get a finalized tactic list and add the X's.

However, with a team of 11 this is not the easiest task. Members of the team kept changing there title or the team would decide to change that tactic to another that we could perform. So we had to wait until the end to get that finalized list. Once we had that the rest of the process was easy. We just added the X's and printed it out.

I have to say it looks really great when printed and is an easy way to show the entire outline of the campaign and when everything should be done.
