Microsoft Project

This week had yet to end with one more day remaining. Yesterday was payday and today is just another working day.

I had started to revise my year two module, project management, as i am tasked to do a gantt chart for Le Marican project.

This is the gantt chart we had in school.

This is the gantt chart i had done at work.

See the difference? The one required of me at work is much more complex than the one taught in school but the concept is the same. The challenging part to this construction breakdown is that it has 52 tasks and quite a number of them are overlapping each other.

The purpose to doing this is for Miss Lily to pick out the relevant tasks which the contractor wanted to claim more days for the "extra" work that they had done. "Extra" is because some of it is true and some are not. Hence we as the developer must double check the claims handed to us. Although the architect supposed to do this, we are still doing it to make sure there is no errors.

I will try to bring this breakdown to the presentation after this 16 weeks internship for my presentation. I bet everyone will be amazed and shock :D That is all for tonight. Cheers :S
