Milestone and Constraints

it should be finish on or before. You can easlity track the float and it is a good idea to put that in the activity description ALL IN CAPITAL LETTERS. Anything eles you are just fooling yourself. 

Also put the must finish by date in the description

Hi Brian,

My recommendation is to use the soft constraint “Finish on Or Before” or “Finish on Or After" so it will not distort the CP and show the correct float on the schedule then used the baseline for Milestone analysis. You could set a status column using a Variance Column and UDF indicator (traffic light).

Answering my own question with another possibility. The milestone is repeated, once in it's work WBS and once in the Milestone section. In Milestones it is "Finish On" and in the work WBS the related activity milstone, without constraint will show the Total Float. This works but I have to create and apply a filter to bring all of the Milestones together.

 

Any other options?
