    Hi, I have a question related to the H grade in the cost impact. If the cost impact means how expansive it is to complete the task, the scoring should be opposite correct? Example, the more expansive project should be ranked as L. If I put a H value in the cost it means that the results will prioritize the most expansive project, what is not what we want to see... we want to prioritize the project that is cheaper.

    Thanks Henry. You can reset those values to whatever makes the most sense to you. Those values are by default set to 1, 3, and 9 so that the 9 (High value) stands out significantly from the medium and low values. Since the values are being multiplied, the higher 9 value helps the calculation stand out much greater to avoid any close-calls or let those that are of high impact have greater influence. Again, feel free to adjust those values in the calculations if you have a different preference.

    Hello Matt,

    I have a question: why is it assigned 1, 3, 9 for L, M and H to the parameter X's. What is the criteria for assigning those values?

    What about IMPORTANCE? What is the criteria?

    Attentive to your response. Thanks in advance.

    Thanks @Eve. I did see your other comments about the music and do plan to improve that in the future; again, the later videos already have it more quiet than the first few videos.

    But I'm not sure why the videos stop as you're watching them. I wonder if ti's a delay because they're downloading in HD format. If so, then if you click the "HD" logo on the video to disable it, then it will download in a lower resolution but at a faster rate. If you continue to experience troubles with this, then please visit the contact page (http://statstuff.com/about/contactus) and submit the details of the error you're experiencing. Thanks again for your support of StatStuff!

    Hej Matt,

    Thanks for the training but 2 challenges are;
    1. The music in the background and
    2. The videos stop while amidst the struggle to listen!

    We are so grateful for this wonderful training,

    Blessings

    /Eve
