Terminology for Due and Actual Dates?

[eoinmcdonnell]

Hello,

I'm sure there's a better way to phrase this - I was just wondering what phrases people use to describe the difference between a target date and the date that an item is actually delivered?

Target / Actual?
Due / Delivered?
...?

Cheers,

Eoin

Hi there,

I think in either case, you must have reference dates. These are specified in scheduling. Now if there is a float on certain activities, or the project uses CCPM, then special terms are used for these dates.

CCPM: Critical Chain Project Management

Forecast & Actual are the terms I would use.

Hi both,

Thanks for your replies and apologies for such a late response (I was determined to keep work to a minimum over Christmas).

Really useful and I've incorporated both into the document.

Cheers,

Eoin
