Answer 1

Que 1

A Gantt chart is a visual presentation used in project management to show overview of timeline for project activities and their inter-dependence. Each project task or activity is represented with a bar chart clearly displaying start and end date. Thus the length of the bar shows the duration required for a task to complete. This way multiple tasks when displayed as bar charts, shows work breakdown structure on a timeline. Essentially Gantt chart shows when an activity starts, completes, how long it will take to complete an activities and also overall project, which is a project schedule.

Que 2

Once approved by the project manager, sponsor & team, the project plan becomes the baseline plan. Baseline plan is used by the mgr to compare the actual schedule to the estimated schedule & actual costs to budgeted costs
