You will also be sent an email shortly after purchase containing a link to the file. The excel file will be available for immediate download on the Order Confirmation page. Instructions on how to update and format your chart date axis in line with your inputted project deadlines are also included. Breaking each larger task and aim into seperate charts will help prevent overwhelm and help keep you on track both at a more detailed level and from a bird's-eye view of your project. Then you can break each main task down into smaller, more actionable items to view your aims in more detail. The document includes both an overall Gantt chart for the entire PhD and charts for each PhD aim. You can also input your percentage completion for each task, so that on the 'Actual' view of the chart, it'll show you how far through you are with each item.
You can enter both planned and actual dates for individual tasks and the template will create two views of the Gantt chart that you can easily toggle between to compare your progress with what you had planned. The excel template is an easy way to create a Gantt chart that tracks your progress towards meeting core deadlines.
