Project Start Date
How do I adjust the project start date?
RE: Project Start Date
Hi Andrew
Thank you for your question. There are two approaches here and each has a different result.
Using Project > Project information will change the start of the plan. Constraints apply as normal which means that delaying the start of the project will consume like, whilst moving the date earlier in the schedule will likely increase slack.
Alternatively you can turn on the Analysis Toolbar
(View > Toolbars > Analysis) and click Adjust Date.
Using this feature to set the start date moves tasks AND constraints. This means constraint dates change to maintain the amount of slack in the plan.
I hope this helps - do let us know if you have any further questions.
Kind regards,
Kind regards,
Andrew
