A better way maybe
For a long time we have found that if you want to REALLY include the client into project management transparency you simply have to use better tools.
Gantt and Pert methodology always will depend on the sic " guru " to explain and leaves most management totally in the dark.
Want REALLY good project management integration go use http://basecamphq.com/ and to visualize like you have never seen it before link Basecamp to http://www.beedocs.com/ 3D Timeline
Listen , Listen , Listen to your client they will always steer you right ( pun intended )http://www.theregister.co.uk/Design/graphics/icons/comment/happy_32.png
