Creating project using end date

How do I create a project using the end date? Would I need to put task in backwards? i.e end task first and then first task last

RE: creating project using end date

Hi Sharon,

Thank you for your question.

Before you create the tasks go to the Project menu and choose Project information. Choose to schedule the project from the Finish date and then select the anticipated Finish Date.

Type the tasks in the order they need to be done and then link all of them. When scheduling a project from the finish date, Project uses the As Late As Possible constraint so it will generate the Start date for you.

I hope this answers your question.

Regards

Simon

MS Project tip:

Giving Someone a Gantt Chart Snapshot

To pass on a picture of a Gantt chart segment, choose the appropriate view, select the rows to be included, then click on the camera icon and select For Screen. The graphics image can be pasted into another document. (See Paste icon forn Project 2010)
