Projects, Propsals & Gantt Charts

Gantt charts are essentially visual planning guidelines that outline the estimated timeframe to begin and complete specific parts of a project. This must be included in the project proposals for our Senior Project course that the teams are presenting today or Thursday.

I was talking with a buddy and he was telling me that he's decided to propose to his girlfriend. He's made the decision, but the time and place are yet to be decided. We talked for a few minutes, and then he said he was going to "go downstairs and make a gantt chart for the proposal."

I was like, what? I knew we had to make a Gantt chart for the project, but not for the proposal itself. Oh no, he said, I'm going to make a Gantt chart for the "proposal".

I thought that was so funny. He was going off to use an industrial planning method to figure out how he was going to buy the ring and surprise his girlfriend.
