MS-DOS

Summary:

When a fixed finish date is entered in the Options Project menu, Project also schedules the activities on an as-late-as-possible basis (ALAP). Whether you schedule activities to begin as-soon-as-possible (ASAP) or on a fixed date, Project assumes that the entire project is scheduled on an ALAP basis and will schedule the activities to begin as late as possible.

More Information:

For more information on scheduling on an ASAP or an ALAP basis, see pages 122-124 of the “Microsoft Project: Version 2.0 Scheduling and Costing Program” manual or Options Project Help screen #2 (of 3).
