What is Gantt Chart (historical reference)
|
Gantt Charts is a very convenient means of planning work with a project. For the first time (at least, as the History record goes) this type of diagrams was applied by an American engineer Henry Gantt (1861-1919) in 1917 for planning of building ships in the First World War times. So, what is Gantt Chart? This is a chart that displays tasks as time bars positioned along a horizontal timescale and a one that indicates to project milestones with the help of indicators. Evident advantages of the chart are its visual clearness and at the same time its information density. You can add or change information right in the chart and see the result at once. Gantt Chart proved to be such a powerful analytical instrument that it had not undergone any changes for almost 100 years. It was only in 90s of the last century when link lines between tasks were added to the Chart. |

While creating flowcharts and process flow diagrams, you should use special objects to define different statements, so anyone aware of flowcharts can get your scheme right. There is a short and an extended list of basic flowchart symbols and their meaning. Basic flowchart symbols include terminator objects, rectangles for describing steps of a process, diamonds representing appearing conditions and questions and parallelograms to show incoming data.
This diagram gives a general review of the standard symbols that are used when creating flowcharts and process flow diagrams. The practice of using a set of standard flowchart symbols was admitted in order to make flowcharts and other process flow diagrams created by any person properly understandable by other people. The flowchart symbols depict different kinds of actions and phases in a process. The sequence of the actions, and the relationships between them are shown by special lines and arrows. There are a large number of flowchart symbols. Which of them can be used in the particular diagram depends on its type. For instance, some symbols used in data flow diagrams usually are not used in the process flowcharts. Business process system use exactly these flowchart symbols.
