During this Microsoft Project 2016 training tutorial video, we will show you a sample wedding project and how to go about setting up the individual tasks associated with it. We will go through the process of adding tasks with dates to the timeline, entering the task name, duration, start date, and finish date.

Hello again and welcome back to our course on Project 2016. In this section I’m going to start work on the project plan for a wedding. Now of course different people would have very different opinions on what might be part of the arrangements for a wedding.

So what I’m going to try to do is to come up with a project plan for a wedding that has enough detail in it to be reasonably realistic but which will also reflect the different styles of wedding that you may get in different parts of the world, in different cultures and so on. Having said that the style of wedding that I’m planning here is not one that’s associated with any particular religion, for example. Now what you’re going to be doing from very soon onwards is planning the refit of a bathroom in a domestic house.

So what I’m going to try to show you while I’m doing this wedding plan is some of the ideas that I want you to incorporate into building up the plan for the bathroom refit. You may well find when you’re looking at either of these projects that they don’t really reflect how you would set about doing them but really that’s not the point. You’re learning the tools in Microsoft Project to do these things and you’re not actually learning how to either plan a wedding or refit a bathroom.

Another important point to make here is that we’re building these things up in layers. I’m not going to go deep into the detail straightaway. We will certainly get to the detail but we will do it one layer at a time and I’ll explain the tools and techniques associated with Project 2016 as we go. So first of all I’ve made a list of the main aspects of this wedding plan. Let’s take a look at that first. Now I’m sure this isn’t going to be quite right but I’ve made this list. It’s actually in the course file folder if you want a copy of this list.

And it’s planning attire, and by attire I mean basically the clothes that people are going to wear but it’s probably a little bit broader than that. Guests, venue, catering, flowers, memories, details, the wedding day itself, and the honeymoon. So they’re going to be my main headings. And the first thing I’m going to do is to start adding each of those to my project plan. So let’s take the first one, planning, and set that one up first. So I’ve created a new blank project and in the task name I enter Planning.

Now a couple of things to point out here. I’m using Gantt Chart View. And I did show you briefly earlier on in the course a couple of ways of switching to Gantt Chart View if you’ve not got Gantt Chart View on already. One way is to use one of the buttons down towards the right hand end of the Status Bar but you can also go to the View Tab and select Gantt Chart View there. Another thing to bear in mind is that you should have new tasks set at auto-scheduled or what I’m going to do next won’t work for you. So having entered Planning as the task name I press the Tab key and a number of fields are filled in for my first task. One of them is the duration.
