Gantt Chart, CPA and Budget







This week the planning for the project has been sorted out and completed so that the project now has specific dates for task completetion and an aim as to where it is going. The project specification has now been completed so that what is going to happen within the project and the specific objectives for the project have been defined; moving on from the Critical Path Analysis has been created so that we now know which tasks are going to be key to the project progressing. The Gantt chart (displayed on the left) has been created so that the project has a timescale and each individual task within the project now has a completetion date; this will help me to keep on track when creating the database.

There are currently no tasks that are overdue at the moment as I am currently working on target :) ; there are also no changes to plans at the moment as everything is currently progressing as planned. The communication that has occurred this week between me and the client has been a discussion about the designs I made for the database further and about how the database links together.


I have created a budget for the project so that there is a clear costing and the client knows exactly what he is going to have to pay. The budget includes:


Work Hours: 55 hours at £18.50 per hour = £1017.50

Software Costs: There are no software costs as I already have Microsoft Access 2003 = £0.00


Budget Total: £1017.50

  1. Good post. Each future posting should now contain a screen shot of your updated gantt chart, a number of hours you have worked and what software you have used, as well as the headings given in the assignment brief.
