Gantt Chart
A list of tasks that together show the length of time to complete a project.
• Each task in the task list is assigned a length of time it will take to complete.
• We also identify the dependencies (what each tasks required to be completed before it can start).
• This can be then mapped out on a grid with each row being a task, and each column being a period of time.
Below are some examples of Gantt chart.

PERT Chart
A diagram that is very effective at explicitly showing the dependencies between tasks.
• The diagram identifies events (the completion of a task) as nodes.
• These nodes connect via lines that represent the tasks.
• The length of time for each task is also shown on each line.
• The length of the line doesn’t represent the amount of time.
Critical Path Diagram
Similar to a PERT chart but explicitly identifies the critical path of the project.
• The critical path is the tasks that make the minimum time to complete the project.
• Each node also includes additional information, such as the earliest start time & latest start time.
• If the earliest start time & latest start time are the same, this is the critical path.

Task 11Scenario
You have been hired by a small fast food chain based in your local area to design a user interface for their self-service food ordering system. The goal behind this is to reduce the staff needed working on the till so they can serve customers faster.
The interface should include:

Year 9 BTEC DIT Monday 15th June – Friday 26th June ResourceLast tutorial you created a list of tasks for designing and developing a user interface for the above fast food chain scenario. Use the tasks you identified to create a Gantt chart using Microsoft Excel. Remember to think about “Task Dependencies”. What tasks can only start when the previous task is finished, which tasks can happen at the same time?
A simple Excel Gantt chart template is below with a possible first task description to help you get started.
Review
Task 2PERT charts & Critical Path Analysis diagrams are also useful tools in planning a project and analysing project progress. Using the tasks and timescales you’ve identified previously, produce a PERT chart or CPA diagram below.
You can use the shapes in Word for doing so.

SMART Aims/Objectives
A project requires goals that we can achieve to measure our success.
S - Specific – objectives should be precisely described as to what result is desired.
M - Measurable – objectives should have some quantifiable way to judge success in achieving the objective.
A - Achievable – objectives should be possible given a reasonable amount of effort given the available skills.
R - Realistic – objectives should be feasible given time scales and other constraints on the project.
T - Timely – objectives should have some kind of time or date that it must be achieved by.
Audience & Purpose
A project plan should clearly define who the project is for and what is it for.
Audience
Your plan should identify who the end users of your system are.
This is so you can tailor your language, formatting & functionality to their needs.
Purpose
• The plan should also define the overall purpose of the system.
• This gives you a good overall goal to work towards achieving throughout development.

Task 1Aims and objectives for a project should be SMART. But what does SMART stand for?
S_________________ M_________________ A_________________ R_________________ T_________________
Task 2We need to identify the aims and objectives for our fast food self service interface. These are the goals for our interface that the business will want to achieve. This could be features they need included, budgets to stick to and deadlines to meet.
Identify three objectives for our interface below. Don’t forget to make sure each objective is SMART!
1. _____________________________________________________________________________________________
2. _____________________________________________________________________________________________
3. _____________________________________________________________________________________________
Task 3(a) We need to identify the target audience for our interface. The target audience could be based on many factors, such as age, gender, location, interests & hobbies. Looking at the scenario, what would this be for our interface?
