[Year 12 IT Apps] about my 'pen and paper' comment....

Mon Feb 11 16:43:08 EST 2008

Seems I opened a can-a-worms here...
Not my intention...I just meant, indirectly, that I kinda miss some of the good ol days (sometimes!)..but sorry, we MUST use a computer package of some sort for the PM component. 
.....oops I did it again.....!
Guess who?

Oh, by the way, who's flirting with who?   Babe???  think I missed something in the translation here.

(couldnt resist!)....ya gotta luv the comments that appear on this list from time to time, really gives you a smile and a larf after a sometimes dreary day!

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
