Milestone Chart Example
A Gantt chart is an indispensable tool for scheduling and planning projects. Presented below is an example
"proposal" milestone chart that will be part of the Phase II proposal. As the Phase II project progresses, a milestone
chart based on the actual activities performed (including start and end dates) will be attached to each progress report.
(To obtain a Blank Milestone Chart, click on the link.) Upon completion of the Phase II project,
a completed "actual" milestone chart will be part of the Phase II Final Report.
The Gantt chart portion must show duration and timing of tasks. Indicate
a beginning and ending of each task by "^".
