Gantt Chart - Help Please

Bexster

Hi

Not quite money saving but definitely would be time saving for me - has anyone got a nice user friendly Gantt Chart template they would be willing to share with me.

All the ones I have searched for online are over complicated.
Thanks in advance :-)

if you only need a simple one could you draw it in excel?

Hi Jessica

Yes I could do but its a timeline for my Masters dissertation so I wanted something a bit smarter. On a tight deadline so a template would have been easier.

Thanks tho

Use the wizard in microsoft project, You can get project if you dont already have it from the ultimate steel website for £40 as long as you are a student.
You can also use the free alternative here

Hi

They probably do but I dont go into Uni at all really. We did 5 set modules on campus and the dissertation and research is just done with a monthly meeting wtih tutor the campus is an hour away from me. :-(

Ive just had a go at it on excel and not looking too bad!:-)

To be honest, it will probably look a lot better in Excel anyway. As you can colour blocks etc easily.

The one I did on MS Project looks a bit crappy to be honest and its kinda fiddly to get the information to go where you want.

Did it and it looks good tutor has seen it and she is happy too. :-)
