Can you change a project calendar (ie standard working hours from 8 to 7) after a project has started and has been baselined?

Hi Paul

You can make the changes you describe. You may also wish to change the default value for the duration of a day to match the changes in your calendar. To do this go to Tools Options Calendar and set your Hours per day and default start time to align with the changes you make to your calendar.

I hope this is helpful - do let us know if we can be of further assistance.

Kind regards,

Andrew

Project tip:

Keep constraining dates to a minimum

As far as possible avoid fixing the dates of your tasks. For example try to steer of clear dragging task bars in the Gantt chart to move them on the timeline or entering dates directly into the Start / Finish fields.

Date constraints such as these limit Microsoft Project's ability to automatically adjust your project whenever you add, remove or modify the duration of your tasks. Instead use the logic in your task dependencies that link your tasks to enable Project to calculate the start and finish dates for you.
