Things to remember

  • Gantt chart is essentialy a converted WBS 
    • module names must be consistent
    • length may not be consistent - man-day  ≠ calendar day! 
    • man-day is a unit of effort; required time in calendar days will be obtained once size of a team is considered
    • example: 10MD = 10 calendar days / 1 FTE (full-time-equivalent) = 20 calendar days / 0.5 FTE = 2 calendar days / 5 FTE
  • WBS includes the use cases (modules) either on horizontal or vertical axis, depending on the type of development (incremental vs. waterfall)
  • Most modern tools for Gantt chart creation already include elements from Network diagram
  • Focus on different types of dependencies between tasks: FS, SS, FF & SF (always use only one for a pair of tasks)
