Thanks Tom for providing an excellent beginners guide to MS Project. I have a one year long construction project. We had several monthly updates and moving the task incomplete parts to status date extending the activity duration. Now, when I move the activity it moves the start earlier in time. How do I fix this?

[@TomStephensontraining]

Hi Namir, im not exactly sure what is going on. Check my update, recovery videos and see if that helps. Videos 5 and 6 you can see the links under the playlist on my channel

Thank you!!!

[@paulgilliland2992]

This is exactly how software was rolled out at my last company which is a big mechanical contractor i Southern California. Two of the biggest were Salesforce CRM and MS Project in which the company paid for 3 people to train with the CRM and then they were going to show everyone else. Yeah right .

[@TomStephensontraining]

Like anything if you give it to people that rarely use it they won’t remember it. But if you do use it you can reference particular videos to refresh. I find that helps a lot Paul. The other issue is if people don’t keep to their commitments Ms Project won’t help other then to show who is the problem.

[@justins.3085]

Great intro

[@TomStephensontraining]

Thanks Justin!

[@amitdubey9384]

Thanks sir

[@TomStephensontraining]

Your welcome Amit

[@Angel-qp3xb]

PERFECT Video !! could you do s-curve diagram pls?

[@TomStephensontraining]

Ill try in the next few weeks

[@pabloorellana3964]

How did you calculate the duration of the activities ? Or is from the rate analysis activity multiply by the quantity of the activity ? If we’re the case how do you fit your resources and the links between activities in order to get the duration from the rate analysis

[@TomStephensontraining]

Hi Pablo, the durations were just selected for the exercise and the links then calculate the dates. Durations are calculated based on historical data, input from trades and vendors, and experience with collaboration. All the best

Could you guide, how can find planned percentage

[@TomStephensontraining]

Hi Johnson
Are you referring to plan percent complete, look under the tracking table not the tracking gantt

[@user-ku3jl9ch3g]

What is the difference between the made easy tutorial and the normal tutorial that you made earlier?
