Decompose the goal into estimable tasks, map which tasks gate which, then find the critical path — the longest dependent chain that sets the minimum duration. Back-plan milestones from the deadline and assign owners to each task.
The critical path is the longest chain of dependent tasks; it determines the shortest possible project duration. Tasks off this chain have slack, while any slip on the chain delays the finish date directly.
Re-plan against the fixed date instead of adding hours. Re-estimate the remaining critical path honestly, then cut or defer off-path scope in the pre-decided order — if the core work still doesn't fit, either the date moves or scope drops.
For small tasks like a two-day solo job, a gantt chart costs more effort than the work itself. A simple ordered checklist with an owner and a deadline is sufficient; reserve program management for multi-person, multi-week efforts.
Fixing scope, date, and resources simultaneously only works if nothing goes wrong, which never holds. One constraint must give — decide explicitly which one flexes before planning, and add slack where estimates are uncertain.
