What is the best way to change dates on an existing project plan

RE: Updating

Hi Narinder

A good way to change dates on your tasks, especially if you have saved a baseline is to select your task then go to Tools > Tracking > update tasks and record what really happened (actual start or finish). Alternatively if the task is not yet complete but needs to be rescheduled you could try either adding a partial constraint (start no earlier than) to the task so it falls on the correct date or extend the lag on its predecessor relationship.

Hope this helps - do let us know if we can assist further.

Kind regards,

Andrew

MS Project tip:

Use Autofill in MS Project

a. Complete 1st entry
b. Select cell with entry to be copied
c. Click & drag autofill handle over the lines to also contain the same information. (the autofill handle is the little black square in the bottom right hand corner of the heavy lack outline on the selected cell)
