Re: Set the project end-date

Hi LG,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup :)

I'm sure others will step in here to give their opinions, but it is
important to get back to your critical path. Any changes you make to
critical tasks will affect the end date, whereas changes to non-critical
tasks will have no effect in reducing the end date. I say more in my
tutorials - you might like to have a look at my series on Microsoft Project
in the TechTrax ezine, particularly #28 on minimizing the effect of delays,
at this site: http://tinyurl.com/2xbhc or this:

(Perhaps you'd care to rate the article before leaving the site, :)
Thanks.)

Hope this helps - please let us know how you get on :)

Dear All,


At the moment, I have a project ends for 564 days with all available
resources and no resources are over allocated. But we have the
deadline to finish the project within 530 days so that I can use the
outsource (in an optimized way) to help shortend the project period.
I already created the WBS and some tasks already added with new
outsource resources as well for 100% but the project period is not
changed.


Could anyone please advise how to deal with this by making sure that
adding more resources to cut down the project time?

Any advice is highly appreciated!

Regards,

LG
