Week 6: (21/10/13 - 25/10/13)

Project Planing (Gantt Chart)

After coming back from mid semester break, I start planing for my FYP1 and FYP2 by doing a Gantt chart. There are many ways to create a Gantt chart. For example, Microsoft Project, a task-planning program, makes it easy to track and chart project timelines with a built-in Gantt chart view. Another option is to use Excel. However Excel does not contain a built-in Gantt chart format. Therefore I decided to use Microsoft Project to produce my Gantt chart because it is friendly user.

A Gantt chart, commonly used in project management, is one of the most popular and useful ways of showing activities (tasks or events) displayed against time. On the left of the chart is a list of the activities and along the top is a suitable time scale. Each activity is represented by a bar; the position and length of the bar reflects the start date, duration and end date of the activity. This allows me to see at a glance and keep me in track.



On Friday 25/10/13, there was a second FYP1 briefing being held at TTL2. The FYP's committee told us about Proposal Presentation and also Progress Report. For next week I will start on introduction and also block diagram for this project. Here are the links to my Gantt Chart:
