Hi,<br />
<br />
I have a Microsoft project file on my PC that I am using to display a critical path of 60 projects. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
These projects have interdependecies that I have identified on my file that I load into Microsoft Project. &nbsp;The problem with this is that if projects are not correct, i.e., a predecessor date is after a successors date, Project will automatically update the dates to be correct (Ie. it wil move the successor date so it is after the predecessor). &nbsp;This functionality would be great if i needed Project to do my scheduling, but I need to see these improper dates.<br />
<br />
I'm am calling this projects &quot;auto schedule&quot; function, but I really have no idea what it really is or is called. &nbsp;Is there a way to shut this off so my dates are not automatically rescheduled?<br />
<br />

Hi,

I have a Microsoft project file on my PC that I am using to display a critical path of 60 projects.  

These projects have interdependecies that I have identified on my file that I load into Microsoft Project.  The problem with this is that if projects are not correct, i.e., a predecessor date is after a successors date, Project will automatically update the dates to be correct (Ie. it wil move the successor date so it is after the predecessor).  This functionality would be great if i needed Project to do my scheduling, but I need to see these improper dates.

I'm am calling this projects "auto schedule" function, but I really have no idea what it really is or is called.  Is there a way to shut this off so my dates are not automatically rescheduled?

 

Turn auto-schedule (?) off?

Project management software has the capacity to help plan, organize, and manage resource tools and develop resource estimates. Depending on the sophistication of the software, it can manage estimation and planning, scheduling, cost control and budget management, resource allocation, collaboration software, communication, decision-making, quality management and documentation or administration systems.
