    Vigeeth,How did you arrive at

    Vigeeth,

    How did you arrive at 29-Mar-18 before time analysis? Is this a mandatory finish date?

    3 things to do if you think the Project Finish Date should be 29-Mar-18 and re-run your schedule

    1. Check that you have assigned the correct relationships (no SS where it should be FS) and that you've linked all activities
    2. Check that you've assigned the right duration to all activities
    3. Check that you've assigned the correct calendars to all activities

    1st I think you have the

    1st I think you have the dates backwards in your post the finsh should be 13 Feb 2018 after calculations the finish date is now 29 March 2018 which means that it has pushed out 1 month.

    you have 5 options 

    option #1

    filter for the critical path and reduce durations of activites on the critical path do this one activity at a time then recalcuate the schedule after each duration reduction becasue the path may change. So run the filter, reduce a duraton, f9, run the filter, reduce duration, f9 repeat until you get back to 13 Feb 2018

    Option #2 

    filter for the critical path and change the logic where you can from FS to SS with a lag do this one activity at a time then recalcuate the schedule after each logic change becasue the path may change repeat until you get back to 13 Feb 2018

    Option #3

    is a combination of options #1 and #2 do both of them

    Option #4 

    accept the completion date of 29 march 2018 and change the project must finish by date.

    Option #5 

    Start the project on Feb 2 2016
