Hello Guloluseus and happy new year!
I followed your recommendations and I ve placed all my 'phase 1' tasks with constraint "as late as possible" and I am getting slightly better results.
In the attached mpp for example, if I change the start date of my phase 2 task in line 8 for example, then indeed I can see the whole summary task been shifted left or right. The other two summary tasks (line 12 and 22) also shift though and I do not understand why... I did not declare any dependency between them.
In any case, I guess that with this approach this means that I will have to manually change the phase 2 start date of the hundreds tasks I have. Correct? This is gonna be difficult for me..
What I am trying to do is to "link" the phase 2 tasks of ALL my summary tasks with a milestone called 'PICK UP DATE' so I would only have to move the milestone and the respective linked tasks would be adjusted automatically. I would like all phase 2 tasks (i.e. lines 7, 17, 27) to start at the same time. This means that depending the duration of phase 1, some summary tasks should start sooner than others.
I am still struggling with the dependency of this one, let me know if you can help! How could I link a milestone to my phase 2 tasks without messing with the sequential sequence of my tasks? Adding multiple dependencies in phase 2 task, makes things worse I think..
Regards
Nantia
