Managing Deadlines in MS Project 2013

MS Project 2013 allows users to enter a deadline date for tasks without limiting scheduling flexibility like task constraints.

To enter a deadline date, users click the Task tab, double-click the required task, go to the Advanced tab in the Task Information dialog box.

MS Project 2013

Enter Deadline Date

If you use Tasks Constraints, you limit your scheduling flexibility, where MS Project 2013
will fix a particular start or finish date of the task according to the constraint. It is a better
idea to use a Deadline Date which has no effect on the scheduling of a task or summary
task. MS Project will alert you with a red exclamation symbol in the indicators column, if
the scheduled completion of the task exceeds its deadline date.

Click Task Tab -> double-click the required Task under Task Name column -> Task
Information dialog box opens -> Advanced Tab.
