When the project is in progress, it would help in monitoring whether the project is on schedule or not. Another type of scheduling technique is critical path method (CPM) (Collier & Evans, 2009). In comparison to Gantt Charts, CPM helps to not only figure out how long the complex project would take to complete, but also which tasks are critical and must be done on time or else the entire project would take longer. Thus, this technique is more useful and clear in showing the tasks that are critical to maintaining project schedule, and which tasks are not. Both CPM and Gantt charts are useful and clear with regard to monitoring project progress (Haugan, 2002). For instance in using Gantt chart, one can immediately see what activity should have been completed at what time, and th...
