Create Gantt Chart in two different ways interactively "Onyx"

Onyx is a program working in Microsoft Excel Environment and is capable of creating Gantt charts interactively in two ways:

  1. one based on drawing bars and connectors to be drawn on worksheet.
  2. Another based on schedule data entry to worksheet.
The first method generate a Gantt chart in the different way from conventional. It allows to draw bars and connectors on the worksheet interactively based on the conceptual information in hand. The bars represent activity schedule and connectors represent dependency relation.
Another method generates a Gantt chart in the conventional way, starting from user's schedule data input: either directly on the worksheet or using dialog box with preliminary presentation of schedule bar and dependence relationship. The preliminary presentation is just based upon the schedule data input. Logical schedule is generated through critical path analysis.

Method 1

1. Create Activity bar and dependency relation. 2. Generate logical schedule through critical path analysis and display comparison for final schedule.

Method 2

1. Develop Schedule using dialog or directly entering data. 2. Perform critical path analysis.
