Once you\u2019ve set your dates, we do our best to hold you to them by warning you when you try to create bookings outside that time frame.<\/p>\n<p>If you have permissions to edit projects you can confirm a clashing booking and adjust the project start or end dates to accommodate. If you don\u2019t have the right permissions, you\u2019ll have to change the date of your booking so that it fits within the planned date range.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, if you\u2019re adding start and end dates to a project that already has bookings assigned to it, you\u2019ll see an error message if the dates you set don\u2019t align with existing bookings.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, project deadlines can (and often do) change. But by warning you about clashing bookings and dates, we aim to help you stay true to the timelines you plan. If you do need to make changes, you can make them intentionally and with full awareness of how they might impact delivery.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Availability-and-whats-next\"><\/span><b>Availability and what\u2019s next<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Project start and end dates are available now on our <a href=\"https:\/\/resourceguruapp.com\/pricing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Blackbelt and Master plans<\/a>.
