My pleasure! Could you please share this video with any of your friends or colleagues who you think might find it helpful? Spreading the word means a lot to me!
This is fantastic. By linking the training to a real-world example, it was easy to follow and understand. Subscribed, and looking up more of your courses. Thanks!
Wilson, glad to have you here in our community! To follow along with the downloadable exercise file, you will need Microsoft Project software installed on your computer
@Beth Fuller, so glad you found the video helpful! Stay tuned as I'll release even more videos about MS Project and other software tutorials to help you manage projects more effectively!
Great tutorial, thanks so much! I've been using Project for almost a year, but functioning basically as a to-do list. This has shown me how to easily place tasks in the timeline using the predecessor column! Off to browse your other tutorials, hopefully to find one that might explain how to nest sub-projects into a bigger master plan!
Superb course! It’s so easy to understand. Thank you very much for sharing this wealth of information for free. P.S.: Loved the 'The Office' reference.
Great Job. You should be a corporate technology trainer. You use the most efficient ways to demonstrate the techniques and your pace was just right being not too slow and not too fast.
Hi, Great video. I would like to use Microsoft project for production management at shop floor, with different machines, BOMs and so on, and track each line item of sales order, is it the right product, please advise.
Not really professional. The cost cannot be calculated during the EVM calculation, and you will get the wrong forecast. Instead, the cost rate should be used as a cost per use or Fixed cost after you get the correct EAC
While Iam scheduling the activities the problem being faced is that the finish date of the predecessor is coming as the start date of the successor even after providing FS. How to solve this.
Thanks a ton Alvin. It helped me a lot. I have problem, my start and end dates change, as soon as I put a different actual start and end date. Say if ther task took more time than planned iwant mpp to allow me to enter actual dates, it changes even the start and end dates..where am I doing mistake..?
It's very amazing. I was so worried after my sir gave the microsoft project assignment. But after watching this I think it is soo simple assignment. All thankz to youuu... Thanks a lot sir. Love from Sri Lanka ❤🎉
If my project includes dependencies on other contractors, how to show those dependencies in the MS project as they add to the project cost if not shown separately
Just wow! i have been looking at so many video's but you have been the best tutor & have explained so well that now i am confident i can work on MS project plan. Thank you so much
Hi Alvin, I recently decided to pivot towards project management as a career, and have started to look at job descriptions. I must say this has been extremely informative considering this is the first time I have researched the subject matter. Microsoft Project was one of the requirements on the JD and this video has eased me into the program. Thank you.
I have an in class scheduling final where we have to put a schedule together for a project we have never seen before. This was extremely helpful and straightforward, giving me a solid setup to build off of! Thank you!
Hi Sir. Good Day. I encountered problems with Microsoft project which is Publish Failure (error 23000)I suspect it was corrupted. I am thinking of how am I going to unpublish the workplan since it always fail to publish. Your response will be appreciated. Thankyou
I don't understand something. At around 6:30 for task #14 you specify predecessors 8,11,13 but if 13 already depends on 11 being done why list 8, 11? Why not just have 13 as the sole predecessor? Your systems seems to suggest that if a late stage task required hundreds of tasks to have been completed beforehand, that each and every one should be listed as a predecessor.
@zoomingby: The materials required for building the platform are different than those needed to cut wood... hence the predecessor needs to include 11 as well. In the same way, the finalize design is to be completed before the platform work can begin.. and hence the predecessor 8. I hope it clarifies.
Thank you Nam, I'm so glad the video was helpful! Microsoft Project can seem really daunting, but once you focus on the most important functions, you can easily learn how to create and manage your own projects using the software! Stay tuned for more videos about breaking into the field of Project Management soon!
The video had given me very clear understanding of estimating project cost. I can now say how do people allocate time and budget for a project and a task. Thank you!
Hi Alvin, why I cannot put on Predecessors, with selected number like for example 3,4 or 5,7 to the next line like your on your video in minutes 3:33? It is stated there is problem with the predecessors information?
I have a problem when putting multiple predecessors. I do exactly like in video but then pops up: "There is a problem with the predecessor information", and gives some of solutions that didn't help me.
Excellent video, one question! how do I set up a task with several labor workers starting on different dates?, I don-t want to add each labour on Resources Sheet, only put 100 Labours and then add for each task 10 labours... my problem is how I can put 5 labours start with the task start date and the rest 5 days later?
Why were numbers like 5 and 9 skipped in the predecessor column. Was it to allow for more time to take place in between certain tasks or just an arbitrary decision that really has no meaning? Just trying to understand as I am new to understanding PM. Thanks in advance
Haha, I wish I could tell you that this video made me a million dollars, and got me tens of thousands of subscribers, but that is not the case. I still work a full-time job, and I create videos in my spare time, while balancing my physical health, well-being, taking care of my family, and being there for my wife and loved ones. On a more serious note, so you know how much time, energy, and resources that go into making these types of tutorials, I spent more than $1,000 to purchase Microsoft Project so I could use on my own personal computer (I didn't feel safe using my work computer). I genuinely wanted to make the tutorial I wish I had when I was getting started. And, it took me at least 3 weeks to prepare, film, and edit this video by myself.
very insightful alvin! Question, ive been trying to perform subtraction of a custom field VS % Complete, but it results in #ERROR, any recommendation for this ?
I want project to calculate the completed tasks only in reports. I want to see something simple- percentage completed and percentage incomplete based on tasks totals (50 tasks 25 completed= 50% completed and 50% incomplete).

Hi Alvin, this was very clear and helpful. Can you do a video on how to track actual progress against the project plan so that any delays are visible?
Glad you found the video helpful, will add this to my list of future video topics!
Great Job. You should be a corporate technology trainer. You use the most efficient ways to demonstrate the techniques and your pace was just right being not too slow and not too fast.

Lots of value
So glad you found it helpful!
Alvin, you did an amazing job. I learned so much from just this video. Subscribing now. Thank you.
Awesome, thank you!
Great video! Best part was discerning the relationships/predecessors. I learned how to properly set predecessors from the video.
Thank you Nam, I'm so glad the video was helpful!

Why were numbers like 5 and 9 skipped in the predecessor column. Was it to allow for more time to take place in between certain tasks or just an arbitrary decision that really has no meaning? Just trying to understand as I am new to understanding PM. Thanks in advance
is there a way to have dark background ?
Thank you, new subbie here, keep it goin! - newbie PM 😊
Welcome aboard! SO glad to hear that you're finding my content helpful!
Thank you for your explanation. I want to ask how can we apply a semester schedule for the MS project?
How much money are you making out of this, Alvin?

Thanks TJ, will be adding this as video topics to create in the future!
Thank you for this awesome video. Please I'm unable to view the downloaded Microsoft Project Exercise. Is there any other way to view it?
Ajayi Abimbola, you should be able to open the file as long as you have MS Project 2016 or higher. What software version are you using?
Thank you for your prompt response. I've opened it now. Thank you
