Schedule from End Date



I want to build a schedule. I want to build it like this:

- Have a task at the end of the project that has a must start constraint.
- I want to be able to move the this last task around and see what would be
the latest date I can start the project to meet the start date i set. Is
there a way of doing that without setting up project to schedule from the
finish date. I thought I can do that by showing the late start date on all
the activities and have it change as I move the last task around. help plz I
have a deadline next tuesday and I would like to have an idea of how to do
this.

  • Re: Finsh No Later Than Constraints
    ... To my thinking, constraints should be used to model physical realities effecting the schedule that are NOT part of the collection of variables such as links, durations, resources, etc that Project's calculations take into account - parts on back order until 01 Nov mean that a task using those parts needs to have a Start No Earlier Than constraint of 01 Nov on it in order to prevent Project from scheduling it to start before the required parts arrive. ... continuous sequence through the schedule and a FNLT on the last Milestone and things are within tolerance all is sweetness and light. ...
