Let me finish this and in a future video I will show you how to enter the precedence. ProjectLibre will calculate this automatically. You would see that for R&D, it automatically calculated it to be 20 days. I'm going to just enter time as you see here, as you can see right now, everything can start right away because I have not given any requirements for precedence, so as a result, what you see is that for R&D, it's looking at the longest tasks are idea generation and if we could do everything at once, then we will be done in 20 days. Also selected design it takes three days. For now I'm just going to keep it at this. That's something that I will show later on. If you want to change that, we will change it in calendar. Weeks for ProjectLibre is five working days. Now, here's if I want to say two weeks, I can say two weeks and it will change it automatically to 10 days. Let's say idea generation takes 20 days and I will just say 20 days. What we enter time for are actually the deliverables, not the project nor the major milestone. R&D has these sub deliverables, product design has these sub deliverables and procurement has more, and marketing and distribution has more. Here's my project, when I extend it, I will see that I have four major milestones. I'm going to do the same thing for procurement and marketing distribution, no difference. I'm going to indent that also, making product design a milestone and delete this. All of the things that we just talked about are going to go under the product design. I can make this bigger so you can see everything that we are writing. Finally, if we are okay with what we have, we can now come up with the manufacturing process and requirements that will be then passed on for production systems. After the prototype, we want to test it, make sure that it is safe for use or any other thing that we need to do. After we have finalized our product design now it's time for us to come up with a detail specs that we can passed on to manufacturing. I'm going to click on procurement and add a few lines. Now we're going to do the same thing for product design. I'm not going to add anymore, these are extra, I'm going to just delete these. Now you would see that we have a second hierarchy. We're going to take this and highlight that and indent these. Now, all of these will be under the milestone of R&D. Following the focus group, we will make some changes to our product to make it more desirable. Once we have the first prototype, we can present that to a focus group to see what they think. Start with idea generation and that goes here, then we will select our design, after we selected the design, we will create our first prototype. Let's start with everything that we can think of at this point. Then I'm going to think about some major deliverables that will be under this, like idea generation, selecting the design and so on. Let's say, I'm going to insert this many rows for now. Let's just click on product design and then go up here and insert several rows. I don't know how many of those I would have right now. R&D is also a major milestone, so we're going to have major deliverables, sub deliverables, and work packages that comes under this. This way we would see that New tow now is in bold and if I click on this, everything will disappear. We're going to highlight those, go to task, and indent it. One of the things I want to show you is that these are milestones and they're going to be under our project. Not to make it too complicated so it can be visible on the screen for you and that's all I'm going to have and of course, a real project like creating a New Toy, would have lot more milestones. We know that we have four major milestones, R&D then product design, followed by procurement and marketing and distribution. We're going to start by calling our project New Toy. ProjectLibre is very similar to Microsoft Project. Later on the software automatically will create a start and finish dates based on our timing and precedence requirements and give us the work day that it will be done. This is the entry page of ProjectLibre with name of the tasks and the projects that will go here. I'm going to adjust the window so you have more room. You're going to create a new toy for the holidays. We're going to click on ''Create a Project'', which is what we get after starting ProjectLibre. In this video, I am going to create a new project and show you how to develop a work breakdown structure using ProjectLibre.
