Finish Date (Planning)

Finish Date field

The current finish date of a portfolio, project, WBS, or resource or role assignment. The finish dates for portfolios, projects, and WBS elements are calculated.

Portfolio: The latest scheduled finish date rolled up from the assignments of the projects or WBS elements in the portfolio.

Project: The scheduled finish date of the project.

WBS: The latest finish date for the assignments of the WBS element. When a role or resource is assigned directly to the WBS element using Assign Resource, the finish date displayed is one day later than the planned start date. When an allocation of that role or resource is entered on the spreadsheet, the date displayed in the Finish Date field changes to the date of the latest allocation.

When a resource is assigned to the WBS element using Assign by Search, the date displayed is the project's scheduled finish date.
