Early Star and Early Finish

Dear Planners,

What is the difference between the early start and start? once we enter the durations start and finish are automatically filled but early start and finish no?

Regards,

early start:

The earliest possible date the remaining work for the activity can begin.

This date is calculated based on network logic, schedule constraints, and resource availability. Early start dates can change as the project progresses and as changes are made to the project management plan.

  early finish:

The earliest possible date the activity can finish. Early finish dates can change as the project progresses and changes are made to the project management plan.

This date is calculated based on network logic, schedule constraints, and resource availability.

ef=es+duration

 

start(activities):

The current start date of the activity. For started activities, this is the actual start date. For not started activities, this is the planned start date until the project is scheduled. When scheduled, the start date field is set to the remaining early start date.
