Modify Entire Project Schedule

Push the entire project timeline to resume all pending work after site-wide shutdowns or extended pauses. Setting a new global start date automatically realigns all unstarted tasks, in-progress work, and dependent activities across your Master Schedule based on established relationships.

Note: You can select only the current date or a date in future while setting up a new date for or planned start or planned end for a task.

• Independent Tasks: Tasks without any preceding dependencies will automatically adopt the newly selected date as their scheduled start date. You can manually adjust these dates as required.

• Dependent Tasks: Tasks linked to other activities will maintain their dependencies and shift proportionally based on the new start dates of their predecessors

• Progressed Tasks: If a task is already in progress its end date is recalculated based on its original planned days and the current completion percentage.
• Manual Overrides: After applying an entire reschedule, you can still manually edit the start date, end date, or planned days for any task—whether it is dependent or independent—if further adjustments are necessary.

Best Practice: Create a schedule baseline before initiating a reschedule. This enables easy comparison and to track how the reschedule impacted the overall project schedule.
