Changed Actual Dates
Changed Actual Dates identifies activities where the actual start or finish dates have been modified after they were initially recorded.
How changed actual dates can affect the schedule:
- Changing actual dates can undermine schedule integrity.
- Leads to inaccurate reporting.
- May cause mismanagement of project timelines.
Best Practices:
- Avoid altering actual dates unless absolutely necessary.
- If changes are required, ensure they are well-documented and justified.
- Regularly audit schedules to detect and address any unauthorized changes to actual dates.
