Enter the data into a software tool such as GanttProject, and generate the Gantt chart.
The following represents a very simple project. The calendar allows for 5 work days (M-F) per week. To keep things simple we won’t separate capital expenses and labour. The cost per activity shown below is total (i.e. not per day).
Activity Duration (days) Precedent Cost A 5 None* $500 B 7 None* $1000 C 3 A , B $400 D 4 C** $500 E 6 C** $800
* Except for ‘Start’ ** The project can only be signed off once D and E have been completed.
Enter the data into a software tool such as GanttProject, and generate the Gantt chart.
