...Gantt charts and PERT charts are both excellent ways to organize and analyze components of a project through a visualization. Both have proven themselves to be successful and essential tools to present information. Although they both have the same purpose, there are many differences separating the two charts. The Gantt chart tends to present information in the form of a bar chart while the PERT presents information as a network model. Presenting information in a bar chart would be a big help to show percentage of work done. However using a PERT chart would be more useful of sequencing tasks. Another contrast between the two charts is the work breakdown structure. The PM of any project has a great deal of responsibility of planning and following through with the schedule for the project. Both charts would be useful to show the tasks that need completing. The key difference is the display on the Gantt demonstrates the percentage of work done and the PERT demonstrates the work flow. The accuracy of each chart is a consideration to take in when deciding how to present information for this analysis. While Gantt charts are simple to read and user friendly, PERT charts add an extensive amount of data that could provide use in the longer scheme of planning. Gantt presents only two pieces of data, which are, project tasks and time allowed for each task to be completed. PERT charts rely on dependency of each task being completed to start the next. This could also prove as an issue...

Google’s mission statement says a lot about what it offers- “Google’s mission is to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful.” This is not surprising, as on a regular basis we can find information on how other Google web applications- Google Forms, Google Drive, Google Docs, and Google Calendar have been groundbreaking for millions. For the sake of this assignment, Google Drive is the main subject of this paper. We can go into any office building throughout the world and find numerous technology devices and tools used to save and share information between other people and computers. These devices and tools can include USB flash drives, portable harddrives, memory sticks, data CDs, etc. However, all of these are disposable. Meaning they can be ruined, destroyed, erased, and stolen. How is that a benefit to our work environment? So say we saved an incredibly important research project on a USB drive, a couple of USB drives actually, just in case. What are our options if those USB drives were to disappear or get ruined somehow? How could, as they say, “the show go on”? Seriously, what are the options for us to present those barrier breaking research results to the major...
