Your Gantt looks like the best Notion Gantt template. I wish i could check it out properly before buying it to be sure. Notion's own Gantt is not great.
Unfortunately Notion doesn’t provide a trial mode for templates. I try to be as comprehensive as possible in the videos to give you a feel. The rest is obviously a personal decision
Hi Sir, thanks for the video. 1st question : Is possible to input duration instead of date? my expectation is like in MS Project, after the duration and relation is defined, then if the start date is change, automatically the all related task will be change. 2nd question : if I input the actual finish of the task which is delay, all following related task will automatically delay and we can see the forecast end of project date. thank you for your prompt answer
Thank you for all the update videos on Notion's new features Murali! I'm sitting with couple of colleagues who are wondering if your Gant Template could be integrated with an already existing Master Task database in Notion? People have Properties connected/related to other databases in Notion so re-building everything would be very time consuming. Thank you.
If you are familiar with Notion, yes you can, if you want some re-engineering to be done, that’s what I also do for people who need that kind of help. Send me a note on studiocx360@gmail.com and we can take it from there.
Hi there, I really enjoy your videos and have been following them for a while. I was wondering if you have any tips on how to template tasks and sub tasks for a series of videos that follow a similar flow and structure. I'm currently working on a series of videos that have a very similar structure and I'd like to find a way to streamline the process of creating tasks and connecting them for each video. Do you have any suggestions or recommendations on how to do this effectively?
Yes Jack, I have an entire framework and workflow built inside Notion that has all of that. Reach out to me on studiocx360@gmail.com. We could get onto a zoom call, you could get a better idea ?
Hello, Murali, Great video. A question: Are either the sub-tasks or dependent tasks able to reschedule and re-accommodate automatically on the timeline when the parent or “blocked-by” tasks are moved forwards or backwards in time, or when a parent task is extended? As you know, in a larger project management context it is very common for tasks to be delayed or rescheduled so ir would be great to be able to drag a parent task on the timeline and for its dependent tasks to respond to the change and move automatically along with it. Thank you again, Murali. Great work on these videos!
Unfortunately , you will have to move dependent tasks or the parent task manually on rescheduling. If you do automated recurring tasks, you should be able to make another task pop up under the main task.
The new Buttons allow you to reschedule multiple tasks and sub tasks at once but you still have to click once, and select the ones you want to reschedule. Watch out for my next video on the topic
@@kevocos The thing is when you start to design software you take crucial architectural decisions. Some take you forward to create new features, others create walls making it difficult. Functionality can be created in many ways - internal or integration into other apps. You can do past due movement automatically in Notion , but it will then keep moving forward and project metrics can go for a toss. It’s a fine line. You can create recurring tasks with formulae but it’s only one record. If you want the calendar record to come up multiple times then it’s either google calendar integration or the new template automation feature . But that’s just in time not prior to the event happening. I don’t think Clickup is the answer to project management but may be better at a few things.
@@muralibalaraman Appreciate the response but that sounds far too complicated! For context I'm referring to illustration of a project on a Gantt Chart. In a project its very, very common for a task end time to slip or be delayed in a project, and then subsequent task start dates are require to be rescheduled accordingly. Where there is slippage early on in a project its not unusually for 100 subsequent task to be delayed and require rescheduling. Automatic rescheduling of those tasks is the most basic of functions. Clickup, Monday and others do this natively, out of the box without ANY fuss, and they have done for many years. I work in Construction Project Management and without this feature Notion is useless for me. Notion is great, its just frustrating that it can't do this basic function.
I understand, I used to run planning and strategy in one of the largest constructions in uae, and can relate to it. As I said , in Notion you can build a house , not a building or do town planning. I have run mega projects for 30 years, I can relate to your frustration . I know you wouldn’t care less for Notions architecture, but it’s fundamentally flawed since it’s over complicated to relate cells across each other or add dependencies for even the same column to provide say cumulative totals. If that is done with relations the table is too slow to execute. My advice , stick to the best tool that does the job for you. I love Notion for what it does, but I use many more tools and apps to get my work done efficiently.

Both can be done in Notion with changing the formula and dependency mapping defined in the Gantt.
@@muralibalaraman Thank you very much for your information. I will try it
thank you for the tips
Perfect! Thank You!

i wish file manager should do it like notion , i want to organize my files pics vid dox etc...

I dont believe there is automatic rescheduling without that it is absolutely useless for project management

@@muralibalaraman Ah OK, please do a video on that. Clickup have had automatic rescheduling for at least 3 years.
