[Year 12 IT Apps] Project Management Software

[Geoff Moss]

Hi Mark

I also used Excel but provided them with objects they could copy for the 
dependency arrows and  milestones.
The milsestone was created by using a "t" in Wingdings or by inserting a 
symbol.
The dependency arrow can be resized to fit the scenario by dragging the 
handles of the shape.

See attached blank I provided for my students last year.

Cheers
