Sir, great lectures on MSP. I'm passionate about learning msp in construction. Usually i watch video and know how software works. I even read msp manual to know how to use it but they are very vague. I never know when to use which tool. To be honest, I never know about baseline. Today, after watching i came to know that i can track the project only if i put baseline. So yeah, this channel is blessings to me. Thank you so much. Guru.

[@TomStephensontraining]

[@excelbatais]

well done 👍

[@TomStephensontraining]

Thanks Excel, very appreciated!

[@alessandroschippa4253]

Why is it necessary to set a status date? If I update the task looking at the project today why should I put a status date in the past? The actual start, the actual finish and the % complete can be analyzed today

[@RoseMariya-i3e]

hi sir, How can I record the actual number of labor resources used on a daily basis, rather than just the estimated amounts ?

[@TomStephensontraining]

Sure you could do that in the resource usage view with actual columns inserted

[@primojosephbanisa2671]

Do you also have tutorial videos on Earned Value Management?

[@TomStephensontraining]

I do under the cost control playlist but more on how it works as opposed to ms project. I have a few issues with how best to use ms project for eva so Im not quite ready to promote it. Thanks for watching Primo

[@primojosephbanisa2671]

Thank you and I learned a lot from your videos...primo

[@stephaniemora3772]

I have a project that started in 2021 and is now restarting in 2022. What would be the best way to update that schedule?

[@TomStephensontraining]

Hi Stephanie you should be able to go to project tab and then project information and change the start date to whatever date you want to start and everything will move

[@stephaniemora3772]

@@TomStephensontraining That's the issue, we don't want to restart the project, we want to pick up in the middle. For example, the initiation and planning has been completed. We are restarting in the execution phase. What would be the best way to update the schedule? Change the planned dates manually?
