A) Gantt chart: A Gantt chart gives information about the activities that make up a project on a horizontal bar chart. The project activities are list in sequential order with the horizontal bars representing the time required to complete each activity. The chart is a graphic representation of the relationship between project activities and time. When your Gantt chart is complete, It can be seen: • The minimum total time required for each activity and the entire project • The correct sequence of activities • Activities that can be done at the same time • Slack time (shown with dotted lines) that occurs when no activities are being performed
