- Gantt Chart Template.xls
- We ask students to develop their Gantt Chart just before the mid-stream assessment. They will submit this to the MFRE Program by June 6.
- The Gantt Chart is not part of the initial Project Plan because historically, we’ve found that students find it hard to identify their tasks and estimate the work when the project just started.
- To minimize your workload, you do not need to review their Gantt Chart. However, if you’d like to work with them on this, please feel free to connect with the student.

- Please communicate with Students, Site Supervisors and MFRE Program via email this summer (including document sharing).
