Good to hear it. Thanks! I actually have a whole playlist on these kinds of things. I suggest you check it out: ruclips.net/video/JwkhNM0IJaY/видео.html
I dont know how this video doesn't get many views. thank you so much for the amazing channel and valuable content. keep it up looking forward to see more vids. thnx a million
great video for my first time planning project, should 3.1 and 3.2 be indented? then 3.2.1 indented? just a question in regards to the formatting of those cells
Thank you, pleased it was useful. That's right. You want the indentation to show the relationship between the rows. So, 1,2,3,4 should be on one line, 3.2 indented once, 3.2.1 indented twice and so forth.
Generally the list that drives the data validation should be in tables on a separate tab. Tables make it easy to expand the list, the separate sheet shops the validation lists being sprinkled all over the place.
That's a good point and a strategy I also use. If anyone reading wants to deploy this, you just need to create a new tab, add the dropdown values in a specified column and then run through the same process - except selecting the cell values from the column in the separate sheet as the data source.
@@ProperProjectManagement Your way of teaching is so much better than what I see other people doing. Seeing someone go through and actually make something casually because they know what they’re doing, is incredibly helpful. I can always slow it down and analyze what you’re doing. thank yoy
@@deansdrone Yes it is. You get 2 templates upon purchase (both have been kept up to date). The one produced during this video, plus the additional gantt chart view: sowl.co/s/bec8nZ
When you say that indenting “creates a parent child relationship” is that aesthetic or does it actually and technically connect them as a group with the first as the parent? Ie does that mean if you make a function that that is adding up the cost of each task/item/child, will it automatically restrict the sum to the parent group, AND THEN allow you to separately create a function which allows you to sum the separate groups together?
Hello. It's both. Aesthetic and technical connection. You can use different functions, for instance you could use the =SUM(CHILDREN()) formula in the parental cell to sum everything underneath...
Hello Ruchi. Great to hear it. Conditional formatting with icon sets would be the way to go. This explains it well: stevechasedocs.wordpress.com/2014/10/02/how-to-use-excel-traffic-lights-with-conditional-formatting-dates/
Hi Ken. Sorry to hear about this. I wonder whether you are watching in a low resolution? Perhaps you could try changing that from the YT settings in the bottom right hand corner of the video player? Let me know if this solves it for you!
Hi, thanks for the info. The Excel font made everything almost invisible (without a zoom-in option) and I had to listen to you more than read what you wrote. My eye sight is OK to read everything else on the internet.
Hello. Thanks for the feedback and I am sorry it was ineligible. I will consider this for future videos going forward and will use a different font. Thanks for letting me know and hope you still managed to get what you needed from it
II really like the video but I definitely need more help with creating the gantt chart. Are you able to provide the template for this? Please let me know
Love it! Nice video. I thought the PM Plan was a written document like in MS Word. Do you have anything like that? Wondering how that's developed from a planning perspective. (Typing it isn't a problem, just planning the flow).
Hello. I do have a video of how to create one in Word: ruclips.net/video/XXSAkNSiUkk/видео.html. Sometimes you will find a project plan has sections with subheadings and text, such as (heading ) project scope, (heading deliverables), etc
Good video. A proposal for future video on this subject: how to link a Project Plan on Excel with a MS Proect file, so to have the freedom to manage the same database of activities on both softwares but for different scopes. Thank you
@@ProperProjectManagement thank you so much sir. I am waiting for that. Since i am a project management undergraduate I really need to know about creating project proposals. 😥
Suggestion, at the start of the video show what you are building, why and how it works. Then how to make it last. This way, if it is not what someone is looking for they don't waste time watching the entire video. Again, just a suggestion. Thanks for sharing
Thank you! would you be able to share the template you have (at the end of the video)? I like the formatting you have and I am not very good at excel to recreate quickly. Thanks in advance!

Hello thanks for this information! Do you have an email address? I have a question about how to track frequencies/durations in excel. I think you will understand it better once you see what I’m talking about.

Hello, dear sir, I am a internshil officer, my mission is to get work for project beneficiaries in organizations, but I don't know how to write a plan to reach this goal, can you help me?
One thing: Duration means nothing. Is it days, weeks, months, years, decades? I can clearly see that it is days but make sure that you are clear and consistent when naming things. Make sure that everyone know what everything is. Add a little summary on the top of what this specific sheet is for and what is it purpose as you will start with something simple like this but it will grow and expand. Always approach it with attitude: if I will send it to the most stupid person I know without any explanation, will they be able to understand it as I intended? If the answer is no then you don't have enough explanation in the spreadsheet. I know that it is a basic, not professional sheet but hey, put some effort in it and you can impress a lot of people.
HELP! I purchased your spreadsheets. I have an issue with the download, the payment processor says I need to contact you, but there is no website no email address and the phone number to contact you
Hello. We will get this sorted do not worry; I'll get them all sent over to you right away. You can contact me here: properprojectmanagement.com/contact/
