Introduction to Project Management & Gantt Charts4:00
Learn to plan, structure, and manage real-world projects with Gantt charts in ClickUp, visualizing tasks, timelines, dependencies, and milestones to control progress and handle delays.
Creating Your ClickUp Account7:13
Navigating Core Views: List, Board, and Gantt7:19
Setting Up Your Workspace Structure (Spaces, Folders, Lists)9:49
Create a public ClickUp space with a project management workflow, add a folder and a task list, and use list, board, calendar, and Gantt views to organize tasks.

Defining Clear Project Goals and Deliverables6:02
Define clear project goals to eliminate ambiguity and derive tasks; identify deliverables and plan a website launch with a structured ClickUp workflow and Gantt chart.
Creating a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) in ClickUp7:15
Break down project deliverables into actionable subtasks using a work breakdown structure in ClickUp, covering design, development, content, testing, and launch steps.
Converting Deliverables into Tasks and Subtasks3:59
Convert deliverables into tasks and subtasks in ClickUp by building five main tasks (website design, development, content creation, testing, launch) with subtasks from the work breakdown structure.
Assigning Task Owners and Time Estimates9:23
Assign tasks and set time estimates to organize a project and prepare a Gantt chart. Learn to assign assignees, forecast durations for design, development, content, testing, and launch.
Organizing Tasks into Project Phases10:09
Group tasks into phases by assigning subtasks to planning, design, development, testing, and launch, and use a phase field to clarify the project timeline and support the Gantt chart.

Scheduling Tasks with Start and End Dates7:44
Schedule tasks by assigning start and due dates to populate the Gantt chart, starting with planning and flowing through design, development, content creation, testing, and launch.
Creating Task Dependencies14:42
Set up task dependencies to convert a gantt chart into a dynamic project tool, linking waiting on and blocking relationships and highlighting how delays affect the critical path.
Identifying Sequential and Parallel Work7:59
Explore balancing sequential and parallel tasks in a Gantt chart to shorten timelines, by triggering parallel content writing and media gathering after defining the website structure.
Adding Key Milestones and Reviewing Initial Schedule16:02

Using ClickUp Workload View for Resource Planning9:26
Explore how to use the ClickUp workload view to balance a single-member workload by identifying the critical path and leveraging slack time to reschedule non-critical tasks.
Identifying and Managing the Critical Path and Slack time7:04
Identify the critical path and assess slack time on the Gantt chart to rebalance workload and eliminate overload without delaying the project.
Balancing Workloads Across the Team7:31

Project Brief: Planning a Corporate Event11:11
Balance parallel and sequential tasks in a ClickUp Gantt chart to plan a corporate event. Identify meaningful dependencies, avoid clutter, and anticipate ripple effects to shorten timelines.
Structuring the Event Project into Phases7:33
Add milestones to your Gantt chart to mark key phase completions, such as design, development, testing, and launch, then align dependencies and refine durations to reflect progress.
Building the Full Gantt Timeline16:02
Build and position milestones in your Gantt chart to mark design, development, testing, and launch, while managing dependencies and refining the timeline as work evolves.
Adding Team Members to Workspace10:28
Identify the critical path and slack time on a Gantt chart, then rebalance non-critical tasks to eliminate overload when only one team member is available.
Assigning Team Members9:40
Learn to manage project schedules in a gantt chart by assigning start and due dates, mapping task assignments, and setting dependencies to reveal the critical path.

Creating the Full Project Structure from Scratch using Claude13:26
Add milestones to a web design Gantt chart, define key stage completions like design, development, and testing, and refine dependencies, timing, and weekly view positioning for an adaptable schedule.
Adding tasks, due dates and assigning tasks using clickup brain10:27
Scheduling gantt chart with AI6:43
Adding Dependencies using AI7:31
Add milestones to your Gantt chart to mark key phase completions, and manage complex dependencies, including parallel tasks, with a focus on design, development, testing, and launch.
Conclusion: course wrap6:42
Balance parallel and sequential tasks to shorten timelines by linking content creation to defined website structure and backend integration, while keeping Gantt charts clean and readable.

Requirements

No prior ClickUp or project management experience required — we start from zero

Willingness to follow along and build your own real project plans during the course

Description

Disclosure: This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.

Project management is one of the most in-demand professional skills of 2025 — and knowing how to plan, schedule, and track projects visually using Gantt charts puts you ahead of the majority of teams still working from chaotic spreadsheets and endless email threads.

This course is a practical, project-driven guide to mastering project management using ClickUp, one of the most powerful and flexible project management platforms available today. You won't just learn theory — you'll build real Gantt charts, manage real dependencies, and deliver complete project plans across three full hands-on projects.

You'll start from zero: setting up your ClickUp workspace, navigating core views including List, Board, and Gantt, and structuring your environment the right way from day one. Then you'll learn how to turn raw project ideas into structured, schedulable work — using Work Breakdown Structures, task hierarchies, time estimates, and phase-based organization.

From there, the course shifts into full project mode. You'll build a complete Gantt chart for a Website Launch Project, manage a complex Multi-Team Corporate Event, and tackle a full end-to-end project using AI tools including Claude and ClickUp Brain to automate scheduling, task creation, dependency mapping, and more.

Along the way, you'll master critical path analysis, resource workload balancing, milestone tracking, progress monitoring dashboards, and team collaboration features inside ClickUp.

By the end, you'll have a reusable, professional project management system you can immediately apply to your own projects — whether you're a freelancer, team lead, operations manager, or entrepreneur. No prior ClickUp experience needed. Just bring a project idea and a willingness to build.

Who this course is for:

Beginners and professionals who want to manage projects more visually and efficiently
Team leads and managers looking to plan, schedule, and track work using Gantt charts
Freelancers and consultants who need a reliable project planning system for client work
Operations and marketing professionals managing multi-step campaigns or launch
Entrepreneurs and startup founders who want structured project execution without complexity
Anyone curious about using AI tools like Claude and ClickUp Brain to accelerate project planning
