Gantt charts and PERT charts are both excellent ways to organize and analyze components of a project through a visualization. Both have proven themselves to be successful and essential tools to present information. Although they both have the same purpose, there are many differences separating the two charts. The Gantt chart tends to present information in the form of a bar chart while the PERT presents information as a network model. Presenting information in a bar chart would be a big help to show percentage of work done. However using a PERT chart would be more useful of sequencing tasks. Another contrast between the two charts is the work breakdown structure. The PM of any project has a great deal of responsibility of planning and following through with the schedule for the project. Both charts would be useful to show the tasks that need completing. The key difference is the display on the Gantt demonstrates the percentage of work done and the PERT demonstrates the work flow. The accuracy of each chart is a consideration to take in when deciding how to present information for this analysis. While Gantt charts are simple to read and user friendly, PERT charts add an extensive amount of data that could provide use in the longer scheme of planning. Gantt presents only two pieces of data, which are, project tasks and time allowed for each task to be completed. PERT charts rely on dependency of each task being completed to start the next. This could also prove as an issue if there is a delay in one task. This would mean that all other tasks have to be delayed until the current task is completed. The project manager can estimate the time it will take to complete each task then can average that out for the entire project. If there were an issue in one task that delayed the rest this would offset the entire timing of the project’s end date. The advantages of
