Paula Puffer asked <<can I do a Gantt Chart in Excel?>>
I haven't used Excel, so I can't tell you specifically how
to do it, but yes, you can. In fact, any software that lets
you create a table (e.g., a wordpro, databse software) and
add or delete columns on the fly lets you do it. So does a
piece of graph paper or a chalkboard, for that matter, and
that's how people used to do it before computers. The
problem is that it's a much less flexible and much more
tedious approach than proper project management software.
