The Planned Completion Date of a project is the date by which the project is set to complete.

The Planned Start and the Planned Completion Dates of a project rely on the dates of the tasks on the project. This article describes how you can manually or automatically set the Planned Completion Date of a project. For more information about the Planned Completion Date of a task, see Overview of the task Planned Completion Date.

The Planned Completion Date of a project can be set manually or automatically, depending on whether you schedule the project from the Start or from the Completion Date.

  6. Click Save Changes.

    As you start adding tasks to your project, the Planned Start Date of the project calculates based on the total Duration of all of the tasks.
