Thank you

[@sahandkhaleghparast56]

Critical paths?
Delay deys of non critical days?
Where are the responses for them

[@Engineer4Free]

See engineer4free.com/project-management and start at the beginning of the playlist 👌

[@Npvp98]

Amazing explanation sir.thank you sir. 🗿🗿😍🤟😀😀😀

[@AJ-et3vf]

Awesome video! Thank you!

[@zariefmalek8450]

thank you very much bro

[@lilya5892]

So what is the duration of the project? The best time and the worst time?

[@harinair7014]

thanks a lot man did a great job!! how about u goin for nother video of other charts like timeline chart or PERT chart and blah

[@Engineer4Free]

Thanks Hari. Check out engineer4free.com/project-management for the whole playlist of PM videos that I made. I cover a lot of other topics, including 8 videos on PERT.

[@Godsentjenica]

I love you man❤

[@Engineer4Free]

Love you too

[@christinewayua9493]

very useful

[@Engineer4Free]

Thanks Christine =) =)

[@Suzanne-uv3cm]

How to Know the critical path,Time duration of thé project

[@amyclancy5009]

Hey if an activity has 2 predecessors for example if D’s predecessors where B,C how would you plot it ?

[@somasoue]

you are really wonderful lecture

[@khuloodalhossani4690]

helped me for final , thanks a lot

[@Engineer4Free]

+Khulood Alhossani Awesome thanks for letting me know! Feel free to check out all the Project Management tutorials I made here: www.engineer4free.com/project-management :)

[@rahatpranto9459]

What happens when there are several predecessor for a single activity?

[@Engineer4Free]

You take the largest Early Finish of all predecessors as the Early Start of the successor. I recommend taking an hour or so to watch videos 1-9 here: engineer4free.com/project-management

[@usrakhan975]

plz teach how to draw rhem on a software like MS project

[@manishameghraj3448]

Can I know how you are adding numbers in duration column

[@Engineer4Free]

Hey, I recommend taking the time to watch the first few sections of engineer4free.com/project-management to get familiar with the basics here

[@offlinefreakz759]

helped a lot.

[@muktarahmedmohamed7275]

Thanks a lot it is really helpful. Could you please tell the software you are using the video for drawing?

[@Engineer4Free]

Glad to hear it! I've got a full list of all the harware and software that is use to make the videos here: engineer4free.com/tools 👌

[@sivatharshan]

that,s a nice video and the critical path is 11 days?? am i right?

[@Engineer4Free]

Thanks, and yup it would be 11 days!

[@jakejohn1966]

im looking for multiple predecessors, i cant even find one online, could you please help?

[@Engineer4Free]

Did you check this video? ua-cam.com/video/4oDLMs11Exs/v-deo.html Activity G has multiple predecessors, and so does Activity H. Then this video: ua-cam.com/video/qTErIV6OqLg/v-deo.html has the same general form, but more complicated relationships with lag. Hope it helps!

[@lucutes2936]

can you do it with effort and resources needed columns?

[@leonne_]

Is the duration(days) given already? Or you have to compute to get it?

[@momento3619]

what if an activity depends on 2 predecessors

[@Engineer4Free]

You need to select the larger value (early finish) from the two predecessors as the start (early start) of the successor. See videos 4 - 9 here: engineer4free.com/project-management 👌

[@MdFaizan-th5yf]

If there are two predecessor ? 😊

[@Engineer4Free]

You can see that situation for some activities in this video: ua-cam.com/video/EvmIJ51NsOg/v-deo.html cheers 👌

[@ziheanyong9430]

What if there is two predecessor

[@mohsinshaikh1407]

How to make project release ? any example video please share here

HOW TO CREATE THESE KIND OF GANTT CHART ON EXCEL ??? I HAVE MORE THAN 1 PREDECESSORS SUCH AS FOR ACTIVITY E I HAVE G,H

[@NIKHILSHARMA-ni5uo]

Tq sir🙏

[@wayliws]

what if its d-e?

[@tejask4889]

Thanks :)

[@Engineer4Free]

+tejas k Glad to help! You can find all 45 project management tutorials I made here if you have more to learn www.engineer4free.com/project-management.html :)

[@giginasser4934]

merci

[@Engineer4Free]

🙂

[@Kanwarpalsachdeva]

what if one of the task is dependent on 2 different tasks. How do you chose the start point then

[@Engineer4Free]

Video 7 here: engineer4free.com/project-management covers multiple predecessors. I do recommend watching at least videos 1-9 though to get some more context and practise.

[@kondasaiprakash8837]

what if they give more dependencies (2 or more) for each activity pls can u tell

[@Engineer4Free]

If an activity has multiple predecessors, you must select the ES that is the latest of the options

[@howardamosa8897]

anyone know any software to do gantt charts?

[@Nightmixable]

What about a video where there's multiple predecessors, would you mind showing~?

[@Engineer4Free]

Hey, check out this tutorial: www.engineer4free.com/4/use-forward-and-backward-pass-to-determine-project-duration-and-critical-path Activity G and Activity H have multiple predecessors. There's no Gantt chart in the video, but there is a PDM network diagram that shows ES & EF which can are just the left and right ends (respectively) of a bar in a Gantt chart.

[@Nightmixable]

Thank you so much.

[@dmal6202]

How do you end up with a total of 11 days, If the total duration when added is 22 days?

[@Engineer4Free]

The sum of all activities is a meaningless number unless they all happen consecutively, for example, B can only start once A is done, C can only start once B is done, D can only start once C is done, and so on.... Imagine an example with 4 activities (A,B,C,D) that are each 5 days long, if the table of dependencies showed that D can start once C is done, C can start once B is done, B can start once A is done, and A is the beginning of the project, then the project duration would be 20 days like you're suggesting. Now if the table of dependencies said instead that D AND C can start when B is done, B can start when A is done, and A is the beginning of the project, then the project duration would only be 15 days, with activities C and D running at the same time, with both finishing at the same time, at the end of the project. The activity relationships stated in the table of dependencies are key to creating the gantt chart which then reveals the project duration. I'd recommend watching video #1 here: engineer4free.com/project-management and then exploring further into the videos after!

[@abdulmoizahmer9770]

how did u know that your duration axis will go upto 11

[@Engineer4Free]

ABDULMOIZ AHMER I made up the example and checked it before I made this video, so in order to not waste space on the screen I just made the Gantt chart area the appropriate size. I could have guessed and made the space 15 days long and then just not used some of it... doesn't matter!

[@abdulmoizahmer9770]

ok thanks

[@chrisduffy1985]

Engineer4Free in this example, could it be said that Activities A-B-D-H make up this projects critical path?

[@ferguscheah]

hello do you have tutorials on how to draw this on microsoft excel?

[@Engineer4Free]

Not currently, sorry about that. You can find all of my PM videos at engineer4free.com/project-management
