Option #1: Linked Bar Chart based on Diagram Figure 6.4 in Project Management Toolbox

Network diagramming is a logical, sequential process that requires you to consider the order in which activities should occur to schedule projects as efficiently as possible. Remember that all projects have predecessors, or activities, that must/should occur before the next step within a project plan can take place.

Using a project scheduling application, complete the following:

• Construct a linked bar-chart for the schedule shown in Figure 6.4 of the textbook. Your schedule must include activity relationships, too. Please note that a Gantt chart that shows activity relationships is called a linked bar-chart.
• Then, insert your network diagrams as appendices in a one- to two-page paper, in the main body of which you identify the steps you took in creating the linked bar-chart.
• Document your lessons learned.
• In your narrative, also explain why the project calendar may impact the project end date.

Irrespective of the computer program you choose, in addition to submitting the native files, you need to insert a snapshot of your work into your submission or convert what you've developed using the computer program to a PDF file, and incorporate that as an appendix to your submission.
