Section 5 Gantt Chart and Staffing Profile for [name of your DSS project]
5.1 Gantt chart for [name of your DSS project]
[Allocate the schedule elements from the spreadsheet from the Development
Schedule Breakdown and the Additional Schedule Breakdown. Note that Project
Management, CM, and Technical Publications activities span the entire duration of
the project – I have used Xs to show that; you can use Xs to show the months in
which the other activities occur.]
[NOTE: construction of the Data Repository, Student Cabin, Instructor Station, and
Hydraulic System software must occur in the 4.5 months following Analysis & Design
and before Integration and Test. You can schedule them in any order and for any
part of the 4.5 months you choose, provided the total staffing level for the entire
project never exceeds 15 people in any time period.]

Instructor Station: [staff-months from WBS] / [months from Gantt chart] = xx Staff
Student Cabin: [staff-months from WBS] / [months from Gantt chart] = xx Staff
Repository: [staff-months from WBS] / [months from Gantt chart] = xx Staff
Hydraulics: [staff-months from WBS] / [months from Gantt chart] = xx Staff
5.2.2 Staffing Profile; Tabular Form
[Complete the staffing table using your Gantt chart from section 3.4, the
calculations from 5.2.1, and the estimation spreadsheet. For example, if there are 4
activities scheduled for months 5 & 6, sum up the effort for all 4 activities. If the
sum of the effort is 24 staff-months, you will need 12 people during months 5 & 6
(24/2). You must include the number of people needed for project management,
configuration management, and technical publications – as shown on the
spreadsheet and the Gantt chart.]
