For ten years I have been trying to enter this field, I fail every time because of the difficulty of explaining from others, but Professor Tom's videos broke all barriers, I felt that it was a message from the professor's heart to our brain. I felt I joined to my real family. .

[@TomStephensontraining]

THANK YOU SIR

[@TomStephensontraining]

Glad the videos help you!

[@CandiceBradley-if9ro]

Loving the content Tom, thank you. I have been trying to update the calander and add public holidays as you have outlined but I cannot. Could this be because MS Project is linked to PWA?

[@TomStephensontraining]

It’s certainly possible often add ons and controls do funny things.

[@nukrichelebadze1888]

Thank you so much sir!

[@TomStephensontraining]

Most welcome!

[@fioremarra3388]

Hi Tom, you have the best MS Project tutorials on KZbin. Thank you! I am a project manager and have recommended your tutorials to my project team. Is there a way we can download your project plan file with all the tasks so that we can follow your tutorials on our local MS Project instance?

[@TomStephensontraining]

I now have them in my playlists for MS Project the couese there is a google drive link. It took a while i know.

[@Odyssey392]

Dear Mr. Stephson, I work in Air Traffic Control. We have shifts. They go like this. Day 1 (Afternoon), Day 2(Morning, Night), Day 3 (Off), Day 4 (Off), Day 5 (Morning, the process of D1) repeats. How can I make this calendar and schedule some tasks in it?

[@TomStephensontraining]

When I get a chance I will try some more complex calendars. It does get a little complicated especially when you have a variety of work hours on different days.

[@Odyssey392]

@@TomStephensontraining thanks please. I have also sent you a detailed email about my query. Once comfortable, please have a look at it. I'll be highly grateful.

[@haumai8933]

Thanks Tom,!!!

[@TomStephensontraining]

Glad they help you Hau

[@dougg7719]

At 27.07 the first two activities are NOT critical. They have a float of a few days. They can start or finish much later but it will not affect the end date.

[@TomStephensontraining]

Thanks for the correction, maybe i will do a redo

[@sunriseeternity300]

Thank You #msproject #scheduleprojects #pmp

[@TomStephensontraining]

Thanks for watching!

[@Vagabond31]

What should we do when skilled workers, unskilled, lag ,equipment days are added in question

[@TomStephensontraining]

You could extend the duration also if someone comes and leaves you can split the task.

[@victoroladunni218]

Thanks sir! Please, how do I make Saturday a working day?

[@TomStephensontraining]

Go to change working time and go to default if you want all Saturdays working days. Then click the details box and select Saturday and non working click okay

[@kwekuodum7271]

Does being an expect with Ms project put you at the right position of a project manager??

[@TomStephensontraining]

It helps but depends whether it is the software being used. Overall it is more about your management and relationships that gets you to a successful place. Its a bit more complicated than I can explain just here though.

[@markschembri8810]

Hi, I still get mixed up when i have a duration of 1 day and the dates span over two dates rather than same day. is there a way around that please? And thank you for your informative channel!! well done

[@TomStephensontraining]

Hi Mark, If it happens all the time, could be a calendar issue. If it is because you have something that takes 2hrs (Finish to Start linked to a successor) and then something that is 1day it will push 2 hours to the next day. You can consider either putting the second item as 6 hrs to complete on the same day or a 6 hr lag (8hr day calendar) to push the item to take up the whole next day. Usually you run into that problem when you mix hours and days, but can be fine tuned. Hmm maybe I should do a video on this. Thanks Mark!

[@aikdrw9820]

if the dependent type of a predecessor is a start-start, then the successor will be open ending, what will happen in this situation?

[@TomStephensontraining]

You can connect it to a successor

[@afikyi88]

How can I make Sunday a working day?

[@TomStephensontraining]

Check my MS Project the course playlist and it will ne the 2 nd or 3rd video.
