Yes, if you use predecessors correctly. I do this all the time with clients. Here is a screen shot of how I do that. 2 things to realize when looking at this: - First, what I do is have the first task be the driving task (only because it is easy to find and train people on which one to change). It can be any task though. - Second, the predecessor is not looking 302 weeks in the past but is 30 weeks on a Monday. If you want to use weeks in your predecessor you need to include which day of the week you want it to be so the last number will always be the day of the week (if you put a +5w to a predecessor it will be the Thursday following the planned completion date of the predecessor task)

David, Thank you - let me walk thru this method on a sample project and show to a manager to get their feedback. Benetta Perry APS
