To schedule a project that must be finished at a given due date, you should use backward scheduling. Backward scheduling is a type of scheduling that calculates the dates of project objects, such as WBS elements and networks, based on their dependencies and constraints, starting from a fixed end date and working backwards. Backward scheduling ensures that the project is completed by the due date and that any delays are identified as early as possible.
