That why I find very hard to explain the MSP project manager to have activity not started and planned in the past....

Let me add to what Arnold just said…



The start of any unstarted activity with no outstanding predecessor commitments is supposed to move when the data date moves. If it does not then you are talking about MS Project. Unless you have a time machine and are planning to use it to move your work crews back in time, uncompleted work cannot exist in the past. Good luck!

Hi Riad,



Generally, the Start Date of each Activity will keep on moving as the Data Date move especially when this activity is not yet started and the predecessor of it will keep pushing when there is no progress recorded and also due to driving relationship.



To avoid moving the Start Date, all you have to do is to adjust the LAG or change the Relationship Type. But in this case, you have to inform the Client and you should specify and justify all lags and relationship type.





Regards,



Arnold
