I don’t have an work experience; however, for Capstone my senior year we had to develop a project schedule that was essentially a Gantt Chart. As such, you can think of a Gantt Chart as a detailed project schedule with clearly outlined goals/ milestones and tasks that need to be performed to achieve these project goals. For this, you should consider that size of your team, their skills, and if the task is realistic enough to complete in the allotted time. Furthermore, another factor to consider is the critical path of your project. This is essentially a part of the Gantt chart that tells you that everything in that path MUST be completed prior to moving on. This is often the most important thing to look at in a project schedule since the flow of the project depends on how efficiently you can satisfy the tasks outlined by the critical path. Highlighting important tasks and prioritizing some tasks over others can help when this critical path is in place and should be considered when trying to complete the project in time.
