Explore basic plan settings in Microsoft Project by configuring project options, default views, date formats, currency, calendar, and working hours to ensure accurate planning before starting a project.

Adjust the project information and calendars in microsoft project by changing the start and finish dates and status date, then set working time and public holidays to reflect the schedule.

Enter and organize tasks in Microsoft Project 2019 using manual and auto scheduling, including summary tasks, milestones, and sub tasks within a work breakdown structure for construction projects.

Create and manage a summary task and its subtasks in Microsoft Project by indenting, outdenting, and entering duration, start, and finish dates, as subtasks roll up into the summary task.

Identify subtasks under finishes of the building, such as seville finishes, artificial garden, floor, wall, accessories, and furniture polishing; demonstrate indenting, milestones, and zero-day milestones with duration units.

Enter and manage duration values in Microsoft Project 2019 using days, weeks, hours, minutes, and months, and see how the Gantt chart and milestones update accordingly.

Learn how to switch tasks from manual to auto schedule in Microsoft Project 2019, automatically compute start and finish dates, manage predecessors, and analyze project statistics and baselines.

Learn to use the network diagram and Gantt chart in Microsoft Project, link activities with predecessors, manage subtasks and milestones, and explore basic reports and resource tracking.

Master task linking and dependencies by configuring the predecessor column, applying finish-to-start and other dependency types, adding lag, and updating the Gantt chart timeline for building projects.

Link predecessor and summary tasks to control construction progress, set dependencies, update the Gantt chart and timeline, and add notes and hyperlinks for stakeholder review.

Master task linking in Microsoft Project, including finish-to-start, start-to-start, finish-to-finish, and start-to-finish, plus timeline updates, baselining, and printing the Gantt chart.

Define standard and overtime rates in minutes, hours, days, weeks, and months in Microsoft Project 2019. Adjust resource calendars with exceptions and set specific working times and rates per resource.

Allocate resources across tasks in Microsoft Project using the resource sheet and Gantt chart, assign 100% and 50% units to team members, and observe how availability shifts the schedule.

Enter resources, quantities, and rates to compute the project cost, duration, and hours. Track milestones, adjust allocations, view cost and remaining budget, and freeze the project for ongoing tracking.

Tune the project by resolving over allocated resources, rescheduling to available dates, and analyzing the task path, predecessors, and critical tasks to finalize before baselining the project.

Analyze slack, late tasks, and lead and lag in Microsoft Project 2019 to manage overallocation, explore four task dependencies, and use split and inactive tasks to protect the project timeline.

Schedule a weekly project meeting as a recurring task in Microsoft Project 2019. Assign resources, manage over allocations, and track progress using baselines and critical path analysis.

Track a project by setting baselines and updating progress from 0 to 100 percent, reflecting actuals and monitoring milestones, cost variance, and overallocated resources daily.

Track project progress in Microsoft Project by updating completion, baselines, and delays, and analyze variances, critical path, and predecessors.

Learn how to track project performance in Microsoft Project 2019 by viewing completion, variance, and cost, and using baseline, reports, and diverse views like Gantt, calendar, and resource sheets.
