GHANT vs PERT

GHANT vs PERT


Why I love PERT

• Gives a better insight in the relations between activities

• Stimulates managing the critical path

• If made well: shows the structure of the project

How to make it

If you want to make a subway map, take the following steps:

1. Define the lines in your project

2. Investigate dependencies between the various lines, if required make the lines cross

3. Define steps and primary milestones, these are your stations

4. Place the stations on the line taking into account the dependencies and time lines

5. Add benefits to the stations

6. Share your subway map


DIY: A web shop

• Make a draft subwaymap for the development and testing of a website.

• Think about: infrastructure, grafical design (marketing style), creating the content (tekst and photo’s) and of course building the site in your CMS. What would the subway map look like?
