Bar Chart

A visual timeline used to present schedule information. Commonly, tasks or WBS elements appear in a list on the left, a time scale runs across the top, and each activity is shown as a horizontal bar placed according to its planned start and finish dates.

Key Points

  • Displays activities and durations on a calendar-like time scale using horizontal bars.
  • Activities or WBS components are listed on the left; dates span across the top.
  • Easy for stakeholders to read, but shows limited logic relationships compared to network diagrams.
  • Useful for communicating the plan and tracking progress against a baseline.

Example

A facilities upgrade project lists tasks such as "Design," "Procurement," "Installation," and "Testing" down the left side. The time axis shows months across the top. Each task has a bar drawn from its planned start to finish dates. During execution, progress shading on each bar indicates percentage complete.

ICS/OT Incident Response Drills and Exercises

An incident response plan is only a theory until the people who must use it have run it under pressure. This course helps OT engineers, operations leaders, IT responders, and security teams turn a plan on paper into a tested capability.

Define safe states and manual fallback before an incident forces the decision. Build escalation paths, tabletop exercises, and scenarios that expose the gaps a document review cannot find.

Then turn the results into evidence: an after-action report, owned improvements, recovery checks, and a drill cadence that keeps the program alive after the exercise ends.
