Move the schedule milestone or program event when a dependency is defined

As a program manager, you can move an event to a new date on the program. When an event is moved to a new date, all secondary milestones are automatically moved by the same number of days as the primary event. The event can move backward and forward in time. However, when dependencies are defined between the milestones and events, the following restrictions apply:

• Events cannot be moved to a date on the timeline that occurs prior to secondary objects.
• Events cannot be moved to a date on the timeline that occurs later than the primary objects.
• Only events for which you have write access will be moved.

Note: This action can also be performed on the schedule Gantt.

Procedure

2. Click Schedule Milestones to show the milestones on the Timeline.
3. Create a dependency between the milestones and events.
