Gantt Chart

You have been hired as a systems analyst. The project manager gave you the following network diagram and a matching table on the

following page so that you can create a Gantt chart and a network diagram for the IS project. Since you are familiar with Microsoft

Project as a project management software tool, you decided to use it to accomplish this task.
