Ideally the planned start date should consider the Constraint date correct ? and also all these tasks are unassigned. I am not sure why the dates are populating incorrectly as well.

We are using RTC 4.0. 
Can someone help me with the same ?
Thanks!

Hi Varun

The values in the snapshots are the ones calculated by the scheduler.
Currently the Plan Scheduler will schedule the work from today. 
In the above case I think you have loaded the plan and then the snapshot at 10-Oct-2013 9:03:56 AM.
In this case as the constraint in Start No Earlier Than (SNET) the dates calculated is obeying the constraint dates.

Currently RTC does not schedule the work items for past days. Only if there is time spent then the start date will be past date.

Hi Aradhya,


Thank you for explanation as of how the snapshots are calculated. Just one question.
So if I need to populate the Planned Start and End Dates as per the constraint dates, then I need to plan in Advance. Correct ? because it will not work for past days.

Hi Varun


Yes its better to take the first plan snapshot before your Iteration starts. That way you will get the planned dates that are calculated the way you want.
