Hello Planners,
Can someone explain?
I have in PM5/6 a (very) small project with 2 activities:
Activity 1 is task dependant, 40 day long, As Late As Possible,
Activity 2 is finish milestone, Finish on or before July 1st, 2008
BOth activities and the project are using a std 5 day a week, 8 hr a day calendar
Why is Activity 2 time-stamped 07/01, 2008 08:01?
If I change the milestone to Start milestone, timestamp is 08:00
As a comparison, I have created the same project in P3 with planning unit to the hour; the milestone is timestamped at 00:59.
I presume that P3 and PM5/6 are defining a day as 24hrs from 00:00 to 23:59, and not from 00:00 to 00:00 as MSP (burp).
Does this explain that a finish milestone could finish early inthe morning the following day instead of late in the evening the same day?
Thanks for your help,
Alexandre

You stumbled over an item for which I say it is one of the programmer’s secret.
A constraint date is not always by default set to the start time of a day. First - version 2.1 I tried to recognize that algorithm. Later I gave up.
To be sure you’ll better switch to "Show Time" and "Show Minutes" to adjust the constraints. Meanwhile I got accustomed to it and switch to show time e.g. to plan a turnaround or another project with a narrow time frame.
Regards et bonne journée
