Explanation
The first column is the Stage that the particular item falls into in the No Delays Achiever improvement project guide e.g. Start Out, Define etc
The Task and Target columns are linked, whereby the target is the measure used to indicate that the task has been delivered. For example, the task may
be ‘Feasibility Study’ and the associated target may be ‘Feasibility study analysed and signed of by executive board’.
The Resource column maybe people and/or finance that is required to deliver the task.
Against these tasks the planned start date and finish date of the task is represented by an arrow. This does not indicate how long the task will take but
simply helps to identify if the delivery of it is on track. Falling behind schedule can be represented by an additional red arrow. A task completed ahead of
schedule may be represented by making the arrow green.
The overall aim is that individuals within the project can get a quick visual picture of how the key tasks in the project are progressing. This chart may be
used on its own for simple projects or for projects that are more complex it may be supplemented with more detailed project plans e.g. plans developed in
Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Project.
