| Hey this is a cool article! It was a fun read and definetly makes me see things differently about working on a project. I've had a handle on doing things this way, but I never fully understood it. I used to work as a contractor programming for a networking company and we all had copies of Microsoft Project, which was able to create Gantt charts based on schedule data that you plugged in. I played around with that and got the basics of scheduling, but this article really cleared and summed it all up. Thanks! ============================== "Need more eeenput..." - #5, "Short Circuit" ============================== |

| I've been involved with large projects (with a large company) which had no fore planning or scheduling. I know what a disaster it can be. They made a few mistakes, including no planning on what project to start first, data-structures weren't planned in advanced which meant that they were designed during development. It meant a lot of people had to work late nights, and even a few 24 hours days just to get the project out on time (all we had was a DEFINATE date the product had to go out). With proper planning in advance, the project could of started on the right foot and meant a lot more people could go home at night sooner. I wish when I was involved with those projects that they had read this article before starting. Thanks again for making a decent article. - Deepdene |

| It was a good article, but all it did was sum up a small part of the field called project management. If you ever plan to do any software development getting some education about project management is a must. (I'm still amazed that the game industry still isn't taking project management seriously.) So if you found this article usefull - don't stop there - there is still a lot to learn. IHF Webmaster of the site "Game Design Documents" at www.ihfsoft.com |
