1A Brief Explanation of the Gantt and Pert Charts
From reading the information above, I now know that Gantt Chart is better for planning and monitoring projects in terms of time. This would be ideal for my project because it has a time constraint as well as many deadlines to meet. A Pert Chart is more suited for examining relationships between different sections of the project. It is similar to a flow chart. The Pert Chart wouldn't be ideal.

6Conclusion
So... Gantt Chart or PERT Chart?
After researching, I believe that the Gantt Chart is more benefitial to me, because the PERT chart illustrates task dependancies more than a set time frame, which is what I really need. Clearly, Gantt chart is sutiable because we have a list of items to check off while doing the project. By constraining it within a set time frame, it makes everything easier.
