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:

Autofit column width – Project (all versions)

At the top of the columns where each column name is located (Task Name, Duration, etc.), hover over the vertical column line which you want to move.

A short bold vertical line will appear, with horizontal arrows pointing left and right.

Left click and hold this icon and it will permit you to grab the column line, allowing you to move it left or right to your desired location.
