Project start date

How do I move a project start date?

RE: Project start date

Hi Rowan

Thank you for your question. The project start date can be adjusted by either by using Project > Project information and setting the start date. This pushes the start of the project forward. When all the float has been consumed the remaining tasks in the plan will also be pushed forward.

If you would like to move your tasks and retain float goto View > Toolbars > Analysis and click on the adjust dates button. Setting a date using this button will move the project forward and move all tasks keeping them in their respective positions. This means that constraint dates will be re-calculated by the software.

I hope this helps - do let us know if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,
Andrew

MS Project tip:

Using the Quick Access Toolbar in Project 2010

The Quick Access Toolbar is included in virtually every Office product, including Project 2010 as well as Outlook 2010, Word 2010, Excel 2010, and PowerPoint 2010.

You will find the Quick Access Toolbar in the top-left side of the window. To begin, click the Customize button (it's the little black arrow at the end of the toolbar).

Simply click the commands you want to include.

Virtually any command can be added to the Quick Access Toolbar. Click the More Commands option and a new window will open from where you can browse the commands including those not on the ribbon.
