I have an activity which is not started and its original duration is 365 days but that activity is going to be completed in 180 days in actual , I want to squeeze the original duration so that my milestone dates remain in control.
Please explain how can I squeeze these duration without changing original duration as I don’t want to change my baseline schedule. Apart from that I would like to mention that I am updating this schedule by fixed duration and unit method( I don’t use expected finish date for updating the schedule instead of that I use remaining duration and unit update)

once 1 activity date changes,
once 1 activity date changes, all other activity dtes will change if you have reduce duration from 365 to 180, it means you are ahead of time, what about your budget, did you spend more to achieve this or your budget was not affected, `I mean original.

Sir, if you want to reduce
Sir, if you want to reduce the expected duration of the project you might need to crush the project meaning your schudele will be ahead of time but you may need to employ more resources meaning more cost. are you prepared to or your client are they prepared to take on more cost, another way to do this and maintain your budged is to postpone work on some activities that will not have any effect on the project and more that resource to speed up other work requiring same resource on the wbs . Unless you have alternate means..but keep me updated.
