MS Project

I can't remember how to shunt the start date for the whole programme forward by 4 weeks.

For upcoming training course dates see: Pricing & availability

RE: MS Project

Hi Neil,

Thank you for your question and welcome to the forum.

If you want to change the Start Date of the project or programme, go to the Project menu and then Project Information.

Click on the Start Date calendar control and choose the new Start Date.

I hope this answers your question.

Regards

Simon

Ms project tip:

Set default task type - Project 2010

a. In Project, click on the File tab
b. Select Options from left hand side
c. Click on Schedule to set the scheduling options
d. Set the Default Task type box to your chosen option
i. Generally if you plan/estimate your projects using durations you should use fixed duration, and untick the box New tasks are effort driven, if you plan/estimate with person hours use fixed work, or for plans estimated with the proportion of resources time use fixed units, and untick the box New tasks are effort driven)
e. Click OK to apply your changes
