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:

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)
