i'm new to omniplan, but have viewed all of the vdo tutorials and read through the entire manual.

in my line of work we receive a project deadline (it's 99% an event of some sort)...then we work backwards to set deadlines. the project deadline never changes (it can't...it's an event)...but of course tasks change based on our ability to get things done on time.

does anyone have any thoughts on this?

OmniPlan cannot (yet) schedule backwards. However, you could create a milestone for that event and lock its start and due dates. Then create dependencies from each other task or group of tasks to that milestone. As things are planned and leveled, if anything pushes a task past that milestone, it will raise a violation so you can notice and correct the conflict.

Yes me too. Just trying out Omniplan for the first time, and we always work backwards when planning things. Seems like an important feature Omni developers!
