Even though BaseCamp comes highly recommended from current web professionals, it's also useful (and sometimes necessary) for us to use other Project management software... and as per usual, the most used application is the Microsoft product: Microsoft Project.
Here's a task for a bit of fun that will introduce some of the fundamental skills required to use MS Project. Your task is to produce a gantt chart using the tasks listed below. To do so, we'll need to
- Order the tasks below into something sensible (you might find it easiest to copy the list into a word-processor to do this).
- Group the tasks smaller lists (such as 1. Requirements gathering, 2. Design phase, 3. Implementation/Testing phase, 4. Evaluation phase). Again, probably easiest to do this in a word-processor.
- Add the tasks to the project
- Estimate the time required for each task (don't worry too much about accuracy at this stage!), and finally
- Set the precedence for each task (that is, identifying any previous tasks that need to be completed before this task can start).
[edit] Example (unordered) list of tasks
(if you can add a task that hasn't been thought of here, please do!):
