We will use Docs and Spreadsheets to outline the project plan, and Blogger to inform the UGA user community on the progress of the project. I am very excited (in a nerdy way) about a Google Gadget that I found. It's a Spreadsheets Gantt chart tool, which takes each item in our project plan and plots it on a timeline. Super cool, and pretty easy to use. Watch a future post for more info, but in the meanwhile, you can see an example.Thank you, Mr. Gantt!

A GarGANTTuan Discovery
In a previous post, I noted how UGA was investigating learning management systems. Now that the investigation process is over, I am turning my attentions to planning and implementation of our new system, Desire2Learn. Fortunately, I have an awesome team to work with, and many of us have been through this before. That means we can improve on processes and project management, starting with communication. We plan to use Google tools, including Docs, Spreadsheets, and Blogger. We are still thinking about whether or not to use Sites as well, particularly for collaboration within the team.

Glad to see someone has developed a gadget for Google Docs to provide Gantt chart functionality. In my career, I had to work with Gantt charts quite a bit and I had Microsoft Project to assist with project planning. Since I no longer have a licensed version of Project, it's good to know I can use a free tool like Google Docs to manage timelines and projects going forward. Thanks for sharing the info on this gadget Sherry!
