The Gantt Chart
Builder System provides a system to build professional quality Gantt charts
without the need for Microsoft Project or similar products. Charts such as that
depicted here: Zoom can be constructed with either Microsoft® Excel® or Access®.
Quite often, your data is present in a database and the production of such
charts has been extremely difficult without expensive add-ons. Excel Based
Version Charts such as that depicted above can be constructed and then exported
in either image or spreadsheet format. This allows all the features and
flexibility offered by Microsoft® Excel® to be used with your constructed Gantt
chart. Full control is available on the colour of each individual line item.
That is to say, if you like, each and every bar can be a different colour.
Therefore, significant items can be highlighted to your audience. As an Excel®
module, GBS requires very little extra disk space (unlike Microsoft® Project®)
and does not require the user to learn yet another software package. All Gantt
sheets are generated on Excel sheets, this gives the user all the power and
flexibility of Excel® without the training overheads of battling with Project®.
