Setting a deadline for the WHOLE project

[PCC_BAEP_TL]

Is there a way to set a deadline for the whole project rather than just for
individual tasks? Or do I just have to set the deadline for each task? I want
the project completed in 72 hours. Does this mean I will have to give each
task a 72 hour deadline?
Thanks

Even if you had to do that, and you may not, it is still easy.
Select all Tasks, click on Task Information tool icon, then set deadline for
all tasks at once.

Another way: a project finish milestone, with all Tasks as FS0 Predecessors
to it, then a deadline on the milestone.

If your project is properly linked, meaning all tasks have at least one
predecessor and at least one successor, except for your Project Start
and Project Finish milestones, then you can just put a Deadline on the
Project Finish Milestone.

Hope this helps in your world.

There is one more way to do this. Expose the Level 0 task
(Tools/Options.../View/Show Project Summary Task) and put a deadline on it.
