2. Manager needs a way to present that data to greatest effect. Gantt Chart Slip Chart Timeline Gantt Chart: Simplest and oldest technique for tracking the project progress Activity bar chart indicating scheduled activity dates and durations, activity floats, Reported progress is recorded on the chart . Today cursor provides an immediate visual indication of which activities are ahead or behind schedule.

3. Slip Chart: Provides a more striking visual indication of those activities that are not progressing to schedule. The more slip line bends the greater the variation from the plan. Project manager will gain an idea to whether the project is improving or not. Very jagged slip line indicated a need for rescheduling.

4. Timeline: One of the disadvantage of charts are they do not show clearly the slippage of the project completion date through the life of the project. Time line chart is a method of recording and displaying the way in which targets have changed throughout the duration of the project. Planned time is plotted- horizontal axis and elapsed time down the vertical axis. Lines meandering down the chart represent scheduled activity completion dates. Timeline charts is useful both during the execution of a project and as a psrt of the post-implementation review. Analysis of timeline chart- reasons for the changes, can indicate failures in the estimation process, errors, to be avoided in future.
