It is a good exclusive product for finding the best project management and business templates minus the headache. Ive heard some super things about it and my good mate called Gray at very last got astronomical success with it.

Wow you just thoroughly explained CPM analysis under 8 minutes. Something we had to do for an entire semester. Thank you
I don’t usually comment on youtube videos. But this video deserves all my respect. Have been banging my head into this CPM since the whole semester. But this, 7 minutes video, just changed the game for me. Could never thank you enough for this video. Great great great work done.🤩🤩🤩

You are totally awesome! I was dodging this concept for years, and you've taken just over 7 minutes to drum the concept in my mind! And this is coming from an expert investment banking coach with sovereign funds as clients! I wanted to explore Project Management, and you've made it wonderfully lucid. Thanks, mate!

Kudos to you for breaking down the complexities of project management and the Critical Path Method! 🌟 Your explanation through the forward and backward pass made it so clear and accessible. I've been searching for a tutorial that demystifies this process, and your video nailed it! The step-by-step guide was incredibly helpful. 👏 Looking forward to more insightful content from your channel. Keep up the fantastic work!
You are a genius! 6 years later and this is the best and straight forward explanation that I have had! Wow
You brought a tear to my eye :') Thank you so much!!
you saved me !!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! please keep making these videos
I spent hours and hours trying to figure out what was going on as the e-text video is in excel which we cannot use in exams. The video comes nowhere close to how well you explained everything. You are a lifesaver. I wish you the best!
This was remarkably helpful and made much more sense to me than the method I was initially shown. Thank you so much!
THANKSSS ALOTT for teaching this in just 7 minutes. My professor took 4 sessions to complete this topic and still i was confused in many steps.. Keep up the good work.. May God Bless You :)))

I've always like this method better because the calculations are simpler. but important FYI, to those studying for PMP exam. if you start with zero, all your ES times will be wrong for purposes of the pmi exam. PMI exam requires you to start with 1

I started with 1, in ES of Activity A at the beginning and finally ended up with no critical path! I wish you could calculate from the day 1 not 0. For example my final result accordingto PMBOK, for activity A, is become as follows: A: ES=1, LS=0, EF=3, LF=2. B: ES=4, LS=3, EF=7, LF= 6. C: ES=4, EF= 5, LS=9, LF=10. And so on! Please share your result when you tried! Thank you!
