Create a Strict Project (Premium and Enterprise Plans) 

Strict projects have a fixed schedule. It is preferable to plan all the project activities within the schedule. Projects following the strict methodology are more successful because their project modules cannot extend beyond the scheduled project dates.

  • All strict projects must always have a scheduled project start and end date.
  • If you Make this a strict project, the project modules must have their start and end dates within the scheduled project Start Date and End Date.
  • However, this feature is available only in the Premium and Enterprise plans.

And you cannot start or extend the start and end dates for any project modules beyond the scheduled project dates. Such as, Milestones will be scheduled within the projects date range bugs will be scheduled within the milestone date range.

  • If you do not make a project strict, the project modules can be scheduled without any date restrictions. i.e, It is not mandatory to have a scheduled Start Date and End Date, if it is not a strict project.
  • The project cannot start and end on the same day.

You cannot select dates beyond the project's schedule in any of the date pickers, for strict projects. An error message is displayed whenever you do not select a valid date range for the project modules. 

More Information About Strict Projects
