Answer to Question 1

Planning is essentially the determination of what tasks must be performed.
Schedules provide a time frame in which the tasks or activities are to take place.
Planning can be considered to be similar to a list of activities that must be performed,
similar to a to do list. Scheduling would consist of putting those to do items on a
calendar.

Answer to Question 2

The popularity of bar charts lies in the ease of conveying scheduling
information. While a schedule network requires considerable study to understand, the
bar chart can generally be comprehended by anyone, including foremen, workers,
architects, owners, etc. There is little confusion in the information that is conveyed.
