Timeline

The timeline for this project was created in the form of a Gantt Chart. The proposed Gantt Chart can be seen in Figure 3.

Fig. X: Proposed Project Gantt Chart

The final Gantt Chart after all revisions and updates can be seen in Figure X.

Fig. X: Final Project Gantt Chart

Changes made from the originally proposed Gantt Chart to the final revised Gantt Chart include the renaming of Tasks 2 and 4 to N-Gram Search and Statistical Frequency of Letters Reanalysis. Task 2 was completed earlier than expected, but cleaning up results for presentation and finding meaningful combinations of the results proved to take longer than expected, and so the second part of Task 2 was extended. Task 3 was also extended so that Jikai was able to complete this task. Task 4 was commenced earler than proposed since the bulk of Task 2 was completed early. The dump of final work and project youtube video were moved to be completed after the due date of the Final Report/Thesis upon discussion with our supervisors. Overall, our initially proposed Gantt Chart estimated our project timeline quite accurately and only minor changes needed to be made.
