Adjust Start & End Dates while Preserving Duration
A project chart is a powerful tool for planning and managing your work. But even the best laid plans need to be adjusted to accommodate unforeseen issues.
SmartDraw makes it easy to make adjustments to your project plan without having to re-do the whole chart. For example, you can change the start and end dates of a task without affecting the task duration.
Here’s how:
Step 1
Open or create you project chart in SmartDraw.
Step 2
For the task whose start date needs to be pushed back, simply type a new start date into the chart’s Start column. The task bar moves to its new location in the timeline.
Step 3
If you know that the task needs to be completed by a certain date. Simply enter the new date into the chart’s End column.
Step 4
You can also simply click on the task bar in the chart, and drag it with your mouse to its new location. So simple.
