Answer to Question 1

Traditional bar charts do not show the interrelationships between activities,
as they show only the timescale of when each activity is to occur. This makes it
difficult to add activities that were left out in the original schedule. As a result,
complex projects do not lend themselves to scheduling. Even if a project is scheduled
successfully with a bar chart, updating the schedule can be very cumbersome. The
impact of changes is difficult to show with bar charts.

Note: The above answer is given purely as a response to the traditional use of bar
charts. With the use of computers, a project can be scheduled as a precedence
network and with a keystroke the bar chart of the project is displayed. In addition, the
bar chart can generally be displayed with the dependencies between activities also
shown. Thus, the disadvantages noted above do not apply to most conventional
computer scheduling software packages.

Did you know?

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
