What is your opinion on these two discussions are they correct, do you agree etc.?

Discussion 1

What are the main advantages of using a network-based approach to project management rather than a Gantt chart?

The benefit of utilizing a network-based procedure instead of the Gantt chart is that the network-based diagrams display the arrangement and sequence of the items that are the focus of the discussion. Completing one-leg objectives is required but can only be done once the overall project is completed; it is imperative that the project's administration, in their management of time, finances, and the details of the project, be constructed as generally there is more than one project in the planning and development phases at any given time.

Under what circumstances might a Gantt chart be preferable to a network-based approach?

With the simplification of each project and displaying each task's starting and ending points as a standalone activity, the Gantt chart would be a better use than the network-based one. I rather use the Gnatt chart since it is easier for my job to understand the progress that is being made and doesn't need all the complications in a graph.

Discussion 2

What are the main advantages of using a network-based approach to project management rather than a Gantt chart?

A network-based method is a tool for project management that is used to illustrate the flow of work, dependencies, and critical routes of a project. Microsoft developed this tool. A few other names for this technique include the Critical Path Method (CPM), as well as the Program Evaluation and Review Process (PERT). To implement this strategy, one must first create a network diagram to illustrate the connections and dependencies between the various project activities. Calculating the critical route and the sequence of activities that must be finished to finish the project is the next step after creating the network diagram. The critical path is the longest sequence of tasks. The capability of the network-based approach to determine both the critical route and the completion date of the project is among the most significant advantages offered by this method. The ability to efficiently prioritize activities, allot resources, and monitor progress is granted to project managers because of this. The network-based method enables better resource management since it identifies jobs that may be performed concurrently and those that need to be finished before others. This allows for more efficient use of available resources. The technique helps project managers to detect possible bottlenecks and hazards, which in turn enables them to take preventative actions to minimize these risks and bottlenecks (Bozarth et al., 2019; PMI, 2017; Schwalbe, 2017).

A Gantt chart is a tool used to schedule and track the progress of project activities. This tool is used in project management. It is a bar chart that illustrates the beginning and end dates of the project's tasks, as well as the dependencies and milestones between those activities. The simplicity and efficiency with which the Gantt chart may be utilized are among its most significant strengths. Since it is simple to construct, comprehend, and explain to stakeholders, it is a good tool for use in relatively straightforward projects with few dependencies

Under what circumstances might a Gantt chart be preferable to a network-based approach?

Using a Gantt chart might be more effective than a network-based strategy. For the management of relatively straightforward projects, such as those with few dependencies, a Gantt chart may be a more useful and time-saving tool than a network diagram. When collaborating with stakeholders unfamiliar with the technologies used for project management, the Gantt chart can be a more effective communication tool since it is simpler to comprehend (Bozarth et al., 2019; PMI, 2017; Schwalbe, 2017).
