I am currently Senior at NJIT taking my Capstone class, which is our senior design class. The purpose of this class is to simulate real-world medical device processes to produce a product. Our professor look at our Gantt chart to assess our progress and observe whether or not our milestones have been reached. The reason why I like the implementation of the Gantt chart is that we get to choose our pace and what aspects of the project are our milestones that show real progress. We have a start and end date but everything in between that period we are responsible for a reasonable schedule. Having this chart ensures we do not fall behind. If the chart is effectively used with sufficient predicting of problems then I will help guide a team to the deadline. The other great part about using the Gantt chart is if a milestone is missed or if a team falls behind, the whole process can be seen with a meta perspective which can help edit timelines and help the team get back on track. Using a Gantt chart is an integral part of product development and the analysis fo the timeline is a great asset to a team.
