Constraint at Completion Date

Dear Edniel,

"Must finish by" is a contractual target so I see nothing wrong in constraining the program with a particular project completion date. It is a good way for it will aid your scheduling and schedule update process to determine whether you are going beyond the contractual completion period by way of having negative float in the overall summary bar.

Hope this helps.

Dear Edniel

In my opinion it’s better to use a milestone "Project Finish" with a mandatory finish date. Why? If you control your program you’ll have a look at the Gantt chart or the network within the view "Activities" - not at the view "Projects". The "must finish by" entry will be hidden.

The effect for the calculation of your schedule will be the same.

Dear Dieter,

Thanks, excellent advise for having the constraint at activities level.
