Description
The following table presents a list of tasks for a student who wants to have an international experience by attending a university abroad. It is essentially a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS). Assuming that all predecessor tasks must finish before the succeeding task can begin (the simplest version), we include the dependence information in the table. The Task: Use Microsoft Project or ProjectLibre as a tool to create a Gantt chart for this WBS. (i) The durations and predecessor must be correct; (ii) The resource must be presented; (iii) If Microsoft Project is used, the critical path must be illustrated. Deliverable: Export/save your Gantt chart (which includes a table and a collection of bars) into a PDF file. Name the file as “_.pdf” and submit it to the correct submission dropbox on Moodle before the deadline.
