You could always set a Project Finish date in the Project overview form. Then the last dates are calculated from this date.

Logically if those activities doesn’t really drive the project then it shouldn’t be on the critical path, but then again you have to consider the intention of why you need to show those activities on the critical path. Ask yourself "Do I really need to show this?" if not then ask a senior in your project get another view.

Hi,

there’s always a last activity, and always on critical path.



if you don’t want to show it, just change the filter for critical path, add sth. like activity id <> XXXX

As I understood, these activities don’t really belong to the project - e.g. warranty, later adjustments during operation...

Some companies use different accounts for those activities and a different person will be responsible.

In P3 you can create a project within the project group of your big projects. So you can put those activities into an extra project. It will have some advantages: e.g. clean project plan, proper critical- and longest path.



Hope, this will help
