   couple of comments- first, I suggest providing an example or two for your discussion of work/units/duration; the basic concept is easy but seeing the variables change using actual values might help make it crystal clear. second, just a comment that your screen shots are fairly fuzzy and it would be nice if they were clearer. otherwise nicely done, and I am adding this (& probably others of yours) to a playlist.

   Thanks….. If you make a task Fixed Units AND Effort Driven (the default in MS Project), then in a sense you are also locking down the work.

   Very helpful! Now if I could just figure out how to make it do fixed work and fixed units at the same time!

   Thank goodness for your video. You are the only one who teaches what is in the title rather than including every bit of trivia possible about Microsoft Project. Thank you!

   Thanks for your reply. now this rollup confusing me. on your next tutorial about roll up, please also teach us the correlation between your way: Click Tools > Options. Click the “View” tab. Click “Show project summary task” at the bottom right of the panel and tools/macro/rollup format buttons. I do really like this lesson PManagement. Im reading a handbook of Microsoft Project 2007 nowdays (german version/822 pages). I subscribed your account already sir.

   “Gantt Chart Rollup” usually means the top summary Gantt chart task that shows totals for things like Cost, % Complete, etc. There is a wrong way and a right way to show this. The wrong way is to insert a task at the top of the chart and indent everything below it . The RIGHT way is to display the Project Summary Task. Click Tools > Options. Click the “View” tab. Click “Show project summary task” at the bottom right of the panel. Subscribe to my videos, I wil load one on this topic soon.

    Click View > Network Diagram. You then have many view customization and manipulation options. Is that what you are asking? Let me know if you need more information.

    I’m sure I can fix you up with the PowerPoint. I’ll send you an email separately so that we can determine the best approach. My main sponsor will be making all the PowerPoints and raw AVI files available a little later this year. In the meantime, like I say, I’ll email you directly to meet your own immediate needs.

    Sir Ganttalot,

    Is your powerpoint posted anywhere? I would love to print off a copy to keep by my desk as a tutorial. It makes everything very clear. I’m going to make this video required viewing for our PMs.

    Thanks!

    This is a very common request, but MS Project does not offer this feature. I’m assuming you would like to see diamonds or similar for each phase, displayed inside the Gantt chart bar, right? Project takes an approach based on a hierarchy of tasks and indented subtasks. Phases would have to appear below the parent. BUT You can have a filtered view to show just specified tasks. ALSO,If you have Project Server, experiment with Deliverables. And format the Gantt bars to show deliverable info.

    I want to summorize a task, phasing the task with 7 bench marks w/ the names of the phases. Is there any way to do this all on the same task line?

    Sir Ganttalot at last I understand Task Types!
    Thanks for making this so straight forward and workable.
