B: The name of the most recent phase that must be completed before the current phase begins, C: the number of weeks separating the end of the earlier phase and the beginning of the current phase, and D: the number of weeks required to complete the current phase. Rows 1 and 2 of the first table should be the same for every project.įor each row in the blue area, four pieces of data are needed:Ī: The name of the current phase. It will need to be Unlocked only to permit adding or removing rows to chart a project with more or fewer stages than the seven shown in the example.

The model contains two tables and a horizontal bar chart.ĪLL data entry is done on the upper table, Project schedule input.ĪLL calculations are done on the lower table, Calculations. The document follows Jerry's model, but may be using different formulas.
