How To Use Expected Finish Date Feature In Primavera P6 || How To Apply Deadlines To Your Project

In this tutorial, let us learn How to use the Expected Finish Date feature in Primavera P6 or How To Apply Deadlines To Your Project This is the sample schedule. If you go to the Status tab in the activity details, you can see the expected finish field below the Finish date. So what is this expected finish date and how do we use it? Now, go to the scheduling option and find that the "Use Expected Finish Dates" option is switched on to enable the Expected finish date act as a constraint. You should be using the expected finish constraint when you do not know the duration but sure about the finish date. so, when this constraint is applied, every time you schedule the project, the P6 will calculate the new remaining duration based on the expected finish date constraint. For example, in this sample schedule. For Activity C, let us set the Expected finish date as 30th Apr'19. Now, while updating the project, you will update the finish date of Activity A by 6 days delay. i.e 15th Apr'19 And when you schedule the project with data date as 15th Apr'19, you will notice that the duration reduces from 9 to 6 days and your finish date is locked as per the expected finish date i.e., 30th Apr'19. You may get a doubt that then what is the difference between the Expected finish date and the normal constraint feature. If you use the constraint like mandatory finish with the same date as 30th Apr'19 for Activity C and schedule the project, you can see the duration unchanged, which is wrong. So, friends this Expected finish date feature would be very useful when you are unsure about the duration and you know the expected finish dates from the vendors on the long lead deliveries. It would be very easy for us to update the project based on the readily available dates. So, friends, this is all about this Expected finish date feature in Primavera P6.
