How do I push back a date that a project should start?

RE: Push back dates

Hi Mary

Thanks for your question. You can change the Project start date (before you have recorded any progress) by using a feature called Adjust dates.

Turn on the Analysis toolbar by going to View > Toolbars and choosing Analysis. On the toolbar that appears click on Adjust dates to choose a new starting date for your project.

Hope this helps - let us know if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,

Andrew

MS Project tip:

Typing Links Between Tasks

In the Entry table, use the Precessors column to type in links. Type the previous task's ID to link. To change the link, add FS (Finish-Start), FF (Finish-Finish), and so on, and + duration to add a Lag, or - duration for a Lead time. Example: for task 5, 4FS+1w ... task 4 preceeds task 5, finish to start, with a week lag between.
