This session will relay this theme in the following ways:  \n􀁸 Destiny is reached not by hope but determined through preparation and planning  \n􀁸 The session will relate to the theme by helping brothers learn to us Gantt charts so that they can plan better events within their Chapter or Lodge  \nThis session will help the **Lodge ** with the Journey to Excellence Requirement(s): 9 (complete service projects for council and community) and 13 (complete agreed upon projects)  \nRequired Materials:  \n􀁸 Projector and screen  \n􀁸 speakers for video sound  \n􀁸 graph paper (for participants to practice building a Gantt chart)  \n􀁸 pencils/pens/markers  \n􀁸 Large sticky notes  \nTRAINER PREPARATION  \n1. Prepare Powerpoint  \n2. Create Gantt Chart for example lodge event-(planning a service project) for an example  \n3. Prepare an example on graph paper  \n4. Create instructions for participants to create a Gantt chart for planning a lodge event.  \nSession Narrative  \nTrainer Instructions: Directions for trainer are in blue boxes.  \nIntroduction to Project Planning 5 minutes  \nProjects can be defined as a series of related tasks directed toward a major output. The management of a project involves planning, scheduling and controlling. The planning phase includes goal setting, defining what is to be accomplished and determine who will be involved. The scheduling phase relates people, money, supplies to specific activities, and establishes the relationship between activities. The controlling phase is when the project manager monitors resources, costs, quality and budgets. The Gantt chart is a popular technique to assist in planning, scheduling and controlling a project. Projects are challenging because normally many people are involved, many related and unrelated tasks are involved and the time period is generally longer than few hours. Since the project is probably critical to your chapter or lodge, it is reasonable to spend some extra time and effort to plan it out. The Gantt chart is a great tool for this purpose.  \nFirst topic 5 minutes  \nProject scheduling involves sequencing and allotting time to all project activities. You must decide how long each activity will take and compute the resources needed for each step. At this point, you will also decide what skills are required. Is someone needed to pour concrete or do you need materials hauled on a trailer? One popular project scheduling approach is the Gantt chart. It is a simple low-cost means of making sure activities are planned, the order of performance is documented. The time for each activity is estimated and the overall project timeline is developed.  \nTrainer Instructions: Have each participant identify something they have done that seemed to large to accomplish before they started. (Hiking a mountain, Eagle project, learning a role in a play, etc…)  \nWhat is a Gantt Chart? A Gantt chart is a type of bar chart that illustrates a project schedule.  \nIt is visual and helps people picture what needs to be done and how far along the team is on the project. Horizontal bars are drawn for each project activity along a time line, making it easy to identi","cbCaicGFt7DHfpaH","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicGFt7DHfpaH","pdf",498872,"English","# Introduction to Project Planning\n## What is a Gantt Chart?\n## Second topic: 5 Reasons for Gantt Charts","[{\"question\":\"What will participants be able to do by the end of the session?\",\"answer\":\"Participants will understand how Gantt charts help scheduling, be able to use a Gantt chart for scheduling, and create a Gantt chart for an induction weekend.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the session connect Gantt chart planning to the NOAC 2018 theme?\",\"answer\":\"It links the theme “Decide Your Destiny” to preparation and planning, and helps participants plan better events for their Chapter or Lodge using Gantt charts.\"},{\"question\":\"What does a Gantt chart show in project planning?\",\"answer\":\"A Gantt chart illustrates the project schedule with horizontal bars along a timeline, making delays visible and highlighting interdependencies and precedence relationships between activities.\"}]","Planning, Backdating, and the Gantt Chart - Charting your destiny: Gantt charts as planning tools | PDF",1791837832]
