Set project start date

Setting a project’s start date helps you adjust timelines and ensure your project schedule aligns with current priorities and resource availability.

How to edit the start date#

2. In the sidebar, find the Start date section
3. Click on the start date area (or current start date if one exists)
4. Select a new date from the date picker
5. Click Confirm to save the change

When to change start dates#

Consider updating a project’s start date when:

• Team members or resources become available earlier or later
• Project urgency has changed based on business needs
• Prerequisites or blockers have been resolved or introduced
• Overall project schedule needs to be realigned

Keeping project start dates accurate ensures realistic scheduling and helps teams plan their work effectively across your organization.
