* Basics of project start and finish dates and durations
* For every project a start date can be defined. This start date is optional.
* The start date of the first stage is defined by the the project start date.
* A duration can be defined without dates.
* A duration is derived from start and finish dates.
* It is a separate field in the database.
* The duration is defined as all working days between to dates similar to durations of work packages.
* Gates don't have a duration: Another way of seeing it: The duration is always 0
* The duration is displayed together with the dates of a stage.
* Durations
* Duration can be filled independently from a stages dates.
* The duration can be set independently from the start and end date. In other words, stage might have a duration without having dates a start/end date set.
* The duration has to be an integer value of at least 1.
* The duration is the number of days a phase stage includes. Start and end date are included in that interval.
* Project settings -> Lifecycle
* There is an input field for the project start date.
* The project finish date is read only
* The start/finish date cannot be deactivated
* Automatic scheduling
* Succeeding phases stages and gates are automatically rescheduled after changing the project start date
* Changing a duration automatically reschedule the finish date of the phase stage
* The project finish date is read-only. It is defined by the finish date of the last active stage or gate in the project.
* Project list
* The project list receives columns for displaying the start and the finish date. The columns are sortable.
* The project list can be filtered by the projects' dates.
* Permissions and visibility considerations
* No additional permissions for durations and project start and finish dates
* View project lifecycle dates
* Edit project lifecycle dates
* Project overview
* The project dates are always displayed in the sidebar of the project overview page. They can not be deactivated in the project settings.
