Activities Riding the Data Date:
What it is:
These are activities that are not driven by logic. They are being driven by the data date and will continue to be pushed week to week until actualized or re-sequenced. They are technically eligible to begin at the time of the update and often represent work that is ready to start or currently in progress.

Best Practice:
Every activity should have detailed enough logic in order to avoid activities riding the data date. Highly recommend adding this metric to your quality profile and completing regular reviews and updating as needed.
