In the Gantt tab, you can perform backward
scheduling at any point within the workflow.
-
Change the Due Date for any open
task.

Press the TAB key. A push pin is displayed in the Fixed Date field. The
Start Date is
recalculated for the current step.
-
Click Recalculate Dates.
The Latest Start and Latest Due dates are recalculated for
the current step.
The Latest Start and Latest Due dates are recalculated for
the upstream open tasks. These are the open tasks that are before the

When you change the Due

scheduled.
