Scheduling Tools (Scenario)
Grace has just graduated from university and is totally overwhelmed by her first management job. When she was in school, she could work on projects one at a time; but now she must juggle several projects, each of which has multiple activities. Grace is amazed to find that her supervisor, Linda, has everything planned in a flow chart diagram. Linda's current project is to oversee the construction of an office building, and Grace is determined to understand all of the major activities and potential problems so that she can be more proactive.


To help get organized, Grace prepares a bar graph that visually shows when her tasks are supposed to be done and compares that with the actual progress on each. Now she can easily assess which projects are ahead of, behind, or on schedule. Grace has used which scheduling technique?
◦ Gantt chart
◦ PERT network analysis
◦ load chart
◦ time series analysis
◦ linear programming
