[Year 12 IT Apps] Project Management Software

Antonia.

This is good.

I teach this in much the same way, only using the drawing tools to produce
the dependency arrows and milestone diamonds. 

To create an arrow, I get the students to draw a horizontal line, then a
separate vertical line with arrow. Then the two are butted up and grouped.
Next, reduce the size to something that suits the Gantt chart and finally,
copy as many times as needed. The grouped shape can be stretched to
accommodate any distance down the Gantt chart and two may be superimposed to
create multiple dependencies.

Additionally, for those who wish to emulate something like MS Project, a
thicker line may be drawn within the Excel cells that form the time bar to
create a progress indicator.

I hope this helps someone while not annoying others who already do things
this way.
