Relationship to Other iStudy Tutorials
This tutorial is related to other iStudy tutorials on time management and stress management. Therefore, it is recommended that instructors introduce this tutorial to students in conjunction with these other tutorials.
Key Points
These points are covered in the iStudy tutorial but should be emphasized in any discussions:
- A Gantt Chart is a visual timeline of all activities associated with a complex project.
- A Gantt Chart consists of a timeline table (text) and a timeline bar chart (images).
- The parts of a Gantt Chart include tasks, subtasks, Gantt bars, milestones, dates and date lines.
- A Gantt Chart can help with project planning, time management, and (indirectly) stress management. It's a great way to clearly define all the parts of a project, the sequence in which activities must occur, and the time associated with each activity.
