Some schools are
leaving the lecture lesson type and moving towards the hands on
experience. Not only students need to work directly on a project but
they need to work with others, collaborate and change throughout the
experiment. It’s the learning process where students learn to edit
all the way through, as they interact with other students and
teachers.
The world they’re
going to work in one day, is based on projects. Hence it makes sense
if they start preparing for the future. Today we’re presenting
another tool in the hands of educators in order to help their
students write their projects: GanttProject. Some functions done by GanttProject are:
- Create tasks and milestones. Aside from the start date and duration, every task may have priority, cost New in 2.7, color and fill pattern, text notes and user-defined custom fields.
- Organize tasks in a work breakdown structure. Hierarchical tree where progress, dates or costs of lower level tasks is summarized on the higher levels. Summary tasks can be collapsed to hide tasks which are not important at the moment.
- Draw dependency constraints between tasks, like "start X when Y finishes" and GanttProject will take care of enforcing these constraints. You can add a lag or use other types of constraints.
- Create baselines to be able to compare current project state with previous plans..
- PERT chart for read-only view can be generated from the Gantt chart.
