Which date type should be updated to change the completion date of a task?

The planned completion date is the correct choice for updating the completion date of a task. This date represents the anticipated timeline for when the task is expected to be finished. By modifying the planned completion date, you can effectively communicate changes to stakeholders regarding the timeline and scheduling of the task, ensuring that the project remains on track and resources are appropriately allocated.

In project management within Adobe Workfront, clarity about task timelines is essential for effective planning and execution. The planned completion date is a critical component that directly reflects the scheduling of tasks and should be regularly updated to reflect any changes that arise during the project's lifecycle, thus keeping everyone informed.

Other date types, such as the actual completion date, indicate when a task was genuinely finished and cannot be altered to represent future timelines. The commit date often pertains to a more tentative schedule and may not directly affect the task's completion timeline in the context of tracking progress. The projected start date is focused on when the task is envisaged to begin rather than when it is slated to complete, making it unrelated to changing a task's completion.
