Project Management in Under 5: What is a Gantt Chart? 

😁

I read your comment before the video even but I still laughed

🤣🤣🤣 ffs

Thanks, Sehajpreet.

100% agree!

Good sense of humor and great delivery!

@@Onlinepmcourses so boring holy

Totally agree

Awww, thank you.

Glad you enjoy it!

😢

Thank you very much. A sub is the best I can ask for!

That's brilliant - thank you!

Lameck, thank you very much. I look forward to having you along for the ride! Loads more content already available and two new vids every week. Enjoy!

Spot on with your interpretation! You're welcome.

Travis, thank you. It's so great to ear when people really like my style. I'm glad to have you as a subscriber. Feel free to binge!

Thank you for sharing, and good luck, Al.

Thank you Carolyn - Once you learn these things, it's hard not to share them! Here's to the Adamieckis and Meuccis everywhere.

Great!

Absolutely. Gantt Charts are simple!

The people who watch and value my videos are my community. My job is to serve them. Plus, I enjoy it!

Thank you. That's good to hear.

That's what I am here for. We now also have a follow-up video on how to create a Gantt Chart: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FX70rWEE8eY.html

Thank you, Lauren. Subscribing is great. Do also have a look at our channel - there are over 200 vids like this one. One you may particularly like is: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9G_LwG8ozpo.html

Thank you - my channel has over 300 videos about all aspects of Project management - and my website also has a similar number of in-depth articles: onlinepmcourses.com

Thank you, Saurav.

Thank you, Subham. What a lovely thing to say!

You're very welcome.

Thank you. I stand corrected. My only defense: It's an early video that I did without notes or fact-checking from what turns out to have been an inaccurate memory. I now fact--check all my videos. Which is not to say, of course, that I don't still get things wrong from time to time. But I have learned my lesson!

DottyGale8 glad to have helped!

Thanks, Madhav!

Great! You're welcome.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Thank you.

My pleasure, thank you for your comment. In case you are unaware, I now have a follow-up video on how to create a Gantt Chart: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FX70rWEE8eY.html

Glad it was helpful!

You're welcome, Daniel.

Absolutely! Gantt charts are a tool - and when they help you get the job done - whatever job - you should use them! A set of rules for what tools to use for agile and what for traditional PM is foolish nonsense. Good PMs mix and match to serve their projects, their stakeholders, and their clients.

Thank you, Janny!

I hope it does.

You're welcome!

You are so welcome!

You're welcome, Steven.

Thank you, Amon.

Appreciate it

Glad you think so!

Glad to hear that

True.

Thank you so much 😀

Well, from John Wick, that's awesome. How's your dog?

@@Onlinepmcourses 😖 Why Sire Mike...Why?😢

Thank you 😁

Thank you

Ian, thank you. As I undersand, Harmonogram or Harmonograph are both 'correct' variants. I guess you'd need to speak Russian to know what Adamiecki really called his tool!

I certainly am! Thank you.

You're welcome!

Thank you, Emma. I completely agree: effective communication saves time, money, and misunderstandings.

The Gantt Chart is a tool for displaying schedule information. A schedule baseline is an agreed schedule at the start of your project, to which you work, and against which you can assess progress. You can illustrate it on a Gantt Chart (or in other ways).

@@Onlinepmcourses Thank you so much for your help, it is incredibly helpful !

@@lauraverreet3947 Perfect - happy to help.

😂

Thank you very much, Sara. Reply: done, because I appreciate every viewer, subscriber, and comment.

Yes, Adamiecki was Polish. But, I believe he did his early research in Russia and first published his ideas about the Harmonograph in a Russian journal. I imagine he was bi- or multi-lingual.

@@Onlinepmcourses Poles are extremely fragile with their national identity

@@bartoszjanprzybyszewski1891 Are you a Pole? If you are, I'll take your word for it. But in general, I prefer not to make sweeping assumptions about a whole nationality. There are 38 million Poles (more if you include diaspora). I am sure some are fragile and others not.

Thank you - this has been noted a number of times and I reference the correction in my pinned comment.

Great!

Marking non-productive time on a Gantt Chart or other plan is common. If your teacher did not say what convention to use, I would shade out the dates when the team cannot work - weekends and public holidays etc. But I am not aware of any way on a Gantt Chart that you can identify dates when specific individuals are unavailable.

Thank you! Cheers!

No worries - not been using Autofocus for nearly a year, so plenty of new videos without it - and 2 more every week! Thanks.

Looks like it was intentional and you were trying to bring focus to the chart! Great work man, I'm IN. :D

@@juansgalt I understand... Yes, the de-focus behind the chart is deliberate! I know there are a small number of videos where the autofocus plays up though.

@@Onlinepmcourses Gotcha. I appreciate the response. :)

Okay, there is so much to unpack here... 'do not account for unforseen events in a long project' - correct. It's not what they are for. They represent a baseline for a predictive project 'No risk management can accurately account for the unknown barriers that will occur' - no, but it can put in place strategies. However, this point has nothing to do with Gantt charts - it's about risk management and, especially, ontological risks. See my video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iOFjmR3-sqk.html 'Gantt charts create a false sense of security' - only in people who (foolishly) believe they are tru. No experienced project manager sees them as anything other than a tool for thinking, planning, and communicating 'They need to be more flexible and evolve over the course of the project' - agreed. And, when used properly, they are. 'Unfortunately too many people, typically high level managers, lock onto a projected completion date and blow up the group when that date is missed due to the unforseen.' - True that. But Gantt charts aren't the problem here. If they are part of the problem, then it's because they have been used or explained incorrectly. 'I have removed Gantt charts completely from any project management' - as is your right. They aren't mandatory 'they are now proven to be obsolete and an obstacle in the overall success of a project' - that's a HUGE claim for which I have seen, and you have presented, no evidence: none, zero, zip.

Thank you. You aren't the first to spot it - see my pinned post!

@@Onlinepmcourses ok thanks!

Final Cut Pro X, with png files animated in that I created with PowerPoint. I love FCPX, but I'm sure you can do this with other capable editing software.

@@Onlinepmcourses Thank you for your reply - I enjoyed your video and thought it was professionally done. Great job.

@@robcurrey2129 Thank you.

Glad you liked it!

Thank you.

😆

Yup - thank you. Check the pinned comment for details.

Thanks, Thomas. You're welcome!

@@Onlinepmcourses I am doing a Mbus degree and the first module is PM we have to do a Project as the assessment based on Gantt.

@@properoldschool Sounds great - Good luck with your assignment and I hope you'll find a load more great content on our channel and at onlinepmcourses.com

@@Onlinepmcourses Thanks Mike, I have to plan a project for my assignment. I have never planned one before at least I didn't use a planning process to do one.

@@properoldschool Two videos you might like: 1. Plan Your Project: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LhBo0T4wcM0.html (simple) 2.

I was being ironic. Hopefully, the world has changed since then. But, the reality...

Thanks, Nkonge.

Absolutely!

Thanks!

Marco - Yes, I was aware that Adamiecki was Polish, but not of how he pronounced his name. Thank you. Why should I think that worse? More on Adamiecki: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karol_Adamiecki

What?

Lol! 😂🤣😂🤣🤭

That's one way of thinking of it, yes. Literally, it's a graphical representation of the timeline of the project.

Thank you.

Is this a variant of Bravo? In which case thank you Or Portuguese for Anger? In which case, why?

@@Onlinepmcourses exactly!! heheh

@@Onlinepmcourses exactly, but I wanted to say thank you hehehehe I learned a lot from your videos.

And...

I'll take that as a complement!
