Actual Finish Date
The point in time that work actually ended on a scheduled activity. Project Managers record the date so they can track progress against the baselined project plan.
Actual Finish date is also important so that you know when resources are available. For example, if Sean the network engineer finishes his task early he may be able to move onto something else ahead of schedule.
