Thanks for the feedback and your link was extremely informative. You are of course entirely correct, I was trying to provide a simple description for a novice PM about how to go about drawing a schedule, but having read your comments and reference I think I may have rushed it a little. I think it best if I unpublish the article and re-work it for the future.

1. The diagram is a BAR CHART. Henry Gantt’s charts bear no resemblance to the diagram they never did and never will – Microsoft cannot re-write history! See: http://pmworldjournal.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/PMWJ5-Dec2012-WEAVER-Henry-Gantt-Debunking-Myths-Featured-Paper.pdf

2. Unless you are a close personal friend of Dr. Who to have some other means of time travel scheduling incomplete work in the past is stupid. Incomplete work has to be accomplished in the future and affects all other incomplete work.

I always though Project Accelerator was a reasonably useful site! Teaching people wrong information is works eth teaching them nothing at all.
