Changing the start date for an entire project

If no tasks are complete, you can change the start date of the entire project.

  1. Change the start date for the first task to the desired date. Ensure that you are changing the date for the task, not the date for the stage.
  2. Click Recalculate Dates. All start dates and due dates are recalculated based upon the new start date. Every open task starts as early as it possible can. In other words, if one task cannot begin until another task is complete, the dependent task always begins on the prior task’s due date.
  3. When a project is returned through a Return workflow event, you should recalculate the dates. This ensures that all open tasks have the correct Start Date and Due Date.
