Gantt Charts are the poster child for Project Management. So every Project Manager needs to be able to create a simple Gantt Chart. Here's my simple 9-step forula.

Dear Mike the way you train is phenomenal, I have been in to project Manager role since 3 years however wasn't very aware of the fact that how it maps to project management exactly. I am almost about to finish all your videos and you are an institution yourself. Kudos to your commitment in sharing what you have learned from hard work. It reflects as the way you explain ,its all naturally flowing from your inside. Apart from your videos I have been exploring your website which has much more to share. Hard to find and mentor and coach like you.
Thank you very much. You (and other viewers) may be interested to know that I now have a memberships scheme that will allow people to get direct mentoring and coaching from me: onlinepmcourses.com/onlinepmcourses-membership-program/
I have done videos on the two types of Network Chart, but the idea of a video on creating one is excellent and I will jump it straight to my short-list!

Thanks a lot Mike, this was indeed helpful and I am subscribing to the channel to further understand the content and conceptualise project management as a whole 🙏
i prefer to first list the tasks, then put durations and only then make tasks dependencies. In this case you can put durations with a calm head, more objectively without adjusting them to the constrains right away and making unrealistic short durations. Then look at the whole picture and depending on the constraints finetune the plan where necessary.
Step 10.... Baseline. Too often plans are not baselined and if you are not tracking against a form of baseline then you are unable to see the movement of the plan and understand where potential risk lies. That said, I woud probably replace step 9 with Baselining, Colour coding and legends is not as important and the baseline. Most PMs will use a level 0/1 timeline or PoaP for updates and communications.
You are right. Baselining is important. I was thinking about 'creating' the Gantt hart (and therefore the baseline. In retrospect, maybe I should have discussed setting a baseline. I will add this to my backlog for a future video. Thank you.
@@Onlinepmcourses I was talking about this to some PMs in my new role. There's this view sometimes that baselining is a means by which leaders can crack the whip and hold PMs accountable. It's actually the opposite and allows us to identify areas that may go through constant or significant movement (plans are a forecast estimate, not a crystal ball), seeing the variance (even weekly variance depending on type of project) allows us to proactively address issues... Baselining is our friend (especially to PMO like me) but some do not see it that way. I look forward to any videos you have shedding light on the value of baselining.
@@bengarick Absolutely. Baselining is your friend. It is also a necessary process for responsible PM in a predictive environment and also in many hybrid environments. However, it is a neutral act. How it is used will vary. It can (and should) be used for monitoring and decision-making. And is also a valuable reporting tool and drives accountability. If stakeholders or governance tiers use it to drive accountability, that is their call. But it is not the 'purpose' of baselining. ANd it is not, in my view, a sign of mature leadership.
@@Onlinepmcourses re your last paragraph, I wholeheartedly agree, which is why the perception needs to be changed, something I actively work on with my PMO work.

I'd be very interested in how to create the network diagram from the WBS Mike. I like your style and wondering if you have covered this?

That makes sense. The two steps are interchangeable in this way.
Wow his voice is great😂
Thank you. I have never thought I have a good voice.
Amazing, thank-you!

Thank you.
