Years ago, while preparing a\nschedule for what was then a 2-year project, I prepared a \u201c5-Day Workweek – w\/Holidays\u201d\nProject Calendar 1 year beyond the original completion date. At the time, I expected\na 1 year cushion would be more than enough to cover potential changes. However,\nas the project progressed, changes accumulated and the completion date\neventually moved beyond the 1 year cushion I had originally created. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unfortunately, I didn\u2019t realize the error until an activity\u2019s early finish date, set to a 5-Day Calendar with Holidays, coincidentally calculated to July 4. (oops!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a reminder, I now include the\nexpiration date as part of the Calendar Name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the illustration above, the Project Calendar Names above are now labeled as \u201c5-Day Workweek – w\/Holidays thru 2020\u201d and \u201c6-Day Workweek – w\/Holidays thru 2020\u201d . Since the 7-Day Calendar contains no holidays, an expiration date is not necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
