Due Date vs Finish no Later than. What's the differences?
Hi I'd like to know the differences between Due date and Finish no Later Than. I Can't see what's the differences.
I read the articles below, but for me the two options are the same: https://jazz.net/help-dev/clm/index.jsp?re=1&topic=/com.ibm.team.apt.doc/topics/c_scheduling.html&scope=null https://jazz.net/help-dev/clm/index.jsp?re=1&topic=/com.ibm.team.apt.doc/topics/c_schedule_constraints.html&scope=null Thanks! |

Hi Alecsander
You *could* think of them as the same semantically I guess but in PM terms they are seen as quite different , where Finish No Later Than is classified as a Constraint and affects scheduling where Due Date is a "Deadline"
Take a look at the MS Project Schema reference at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/aa219489(v=office.11).aspx and also the blog post http://saipower.wordpress.com/2010/01/02/microsoft-project-deadlines-or-constraints-which-is-better/ for more clarification.
