One of the most common issues I see is people not using the right settings in Microsoft Project (MS Project). Often people open project and then just start a new file with the default template that Microsoft provides in the program.

One of those defaults settings is the task mode setting. What does the task mode setting do? Well it determines whether the program will calculate new dates when logic is changed or added or when an activity duration is changed for example.
