PCM Mount


Gantt Chart For Middle September - Early October


As a group we decided to produce a Gantt chart per month in order to be more specific with tasks that need to be done.  In addition specific tasks were assigned to members to avoid any confusion and to keep track of who is working on what.  (i.e. A= Andy, B = Brandon, S=Stephen, M=Mike)
