In this article, we shall learn how to check the plan’s duration, start & finish dates in the Microsoft project 2013.
I strongly recommend you read my previous articles on Microsoft Project. For your convenience, I have given the links below.
Now it’s okay to continue with this article.
At any time in the planning or implementing Project, we must know how long the project is expected to take.
We can expect this by doing some calculations, which are based on task durations, Dependencies, Project Calendar adjustments and many other factors, which we have recorded in the plan but we not going to enter a total project duration or finish date blindly in a plan and there is no need even to do it.
In this article, our main agenda is to find an easy way to view the plan’s duration and schedule start and finish dates via the Timeline view, Project summary tasks and the Project Information ribbon.
Actually we maintain a project plan to help the team to be organized for the upcoming work. In this case, we are frequently asked to provide the current schedule duration and finish date for the project plan.
Don’t worry about the numbers given above, the duration is the number of working days between the plan’s start date and finish date.
Project calculates the plan’s duration, which is based on some factors, such as task relationships, which are discussed in Creating Task Dependencies in Microsoft Projects in our previous articles.
Thanks for Reading my article. Sharing is caring.
