Bar Chart - ANSWER used to compare things between different groups or to track

Gantt Chart - ANSWER timeline that is used as a project management tool to illustrate
how the project will run. You can view individual tasks, their durations and the sequencing of
these tasks. View the overall timeline of the project and the expected completion date.;
useful for planning and scheduling projects. They help you assess how long a project should
take, determine the resources needed, and plan the order in which you'll complete tasks.
They're also helpful for managing the dependencies between tasks.
Milestone Chart - ANSWER focuses on planned significant events scheduled to occur at
specific times in the program. Such events could be the initiation or completion of a particu-
larly important or critical activity, equipment deliveries, reviews, or approval dates. Like the
Gantt Chart, the milestone chart uses symbols imposed on a calendar to provide information
about planned and actual completion dates and any revisions to the milestone schedule;
Program Managers (PM) rarely use pure Gantt or milestone charts. Normally they integrate
the information from these charts and display it in a combination chart. Such a chart can be
useful in displaying the planned and actual duration of activities using the Gantt chart sym-
bols and in monitoring the progress for completing key events in these activities using the
milestone symbols.
Check sheet/Checklist - ANSWER simple document that is used for collecting data in real
time and at the location where the data is generated. The document is typically a blank form
that is designed for the quick, easy, and efficient recording of the desired information, which
can be either quantitative or qualitative. When the information is quantitative, the check
sheet is sometimes called a tally sheet. The check sheet is one of the seven basic tools of
quality control made popular by Dr. Kaoru Ishikawa;
A defining characteristic of a check sheet is that data is recorded by making marks ("checks")
on it. A typical check sheet is divided into regions, and marks made in different regions have
different significance. Data is read by observing the location and number of marks on the
sheet.
