Creating Gantt Chart Using Microsoft Project (Get help now!)
Gantt chart using Microsoft Project
Assignment: Produce a Tracking Gantt chart using Microsoft Project that follows Figure 6-7 (page 258) as much as possible. I understand that the actual start/end dates may be difficult to determine by looking at the time scale at the top… so just do your best. Don’t worry about cosmetic differences between your chart and the figure. Here is a document that can guide your for this assignment. On page 21, it gives you the steps to create Gantt chart with a blank project file.
Note: If you are unable to open the MS Project document in the link above, try downloading the Brief Guide to Microsoft Project Professional 2016 pdf here: https://www.cengage.com/cgi-wadsworth/course_products_wp.pl?fid=M20b&product_isbn_issn=9781337101356&token= (Links to an external site.)
