Project with Hard Deadline Template

Anthony D'Ambrosio

Hello Smartsheet Community!

Does anyone have any good examples of how to utilize the project with hard deadlines template? Is there a way that I could take a current project plan that starts with the project kickoff to ends with the project setting in stores and apply the hard deadline template? Ultimately what I would like to do is if our customer says, we want this project to set in stores on x date that I could plug that set in store date into the plan and quickly tell them when they would need to award us business? Any examples or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks and I hope that everyone is doing well and having a great and safe week!

Best,

Yes, that is, in general, correct. I've answered your email with more details.

Hi @Anthony D'Ambrosio

I hope you're well and safe!

That is exactly how one of my clients is using it.

Add the date when it has to be in the store and then the project plan update according to all the dependencies.

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!

@Andrée Starå so, do I need to built my In reverse? Meaning at the top of the project plan, I would start with project sets in store and my last task would be project kick off?
