All Planning Engineers, and most of project managers can create a Gantt Chart (Bar Chart) using different scheduling tools such as Primavera and Microsoft Project. However, only few of them really know how the scheduling software is calculating the network diagram in order to estimate the project duration, project floats, and critical path.
