Project Scheduling and Cost Control

Question: Discuss about the Project Scheduling and Cost Control. Answer: Introduction: In 1910s Henry Gantt, (an American mechanical engineer and management consultant) devised a special type of a bar chart called a Gantt chart that denotes a schedule of a particular project (Milos?evic?, 2013). In my research, I will use a Gantt chart to demonstrate the commencement and culmination periods of the summary and terminal rudiments of the task. Summary and terminal essentials in this case will comprise of the task breakdown structure of the entire project. Besides, the Gantt chart will be used to depict the dependency (that is the precedence linkage) correlation between activities (Taylor, 2008). As shown in the timeline, the research process will cover a period of eight months that is from April to November 2017. The terminal and summary elements of the study proposal are represented in a dependency relationship such that one is a prerequisite of the other. For instance, identification of the research proposal will be a precondition that is the phase must take place first before formulating the research questions. Throughout my researching activities, I will strive to insurer all stages in the Gantt chart are conducted as stipulated within the given time frames but I will also allow room for flexibility.
