Project overview

This table provides a comprehensive view of the project's progress over time by consolidating data from all schedule updates. Each row represents a snapshot of the project's schedule at a specific date, allowing you to track changes and trends in the projected completion date, contract compliance, and overall timeline performance.

To keep track of Adjusted Contract Compl. Date you must enter Days Added given to contractor in each uploaded schedule update, sometimes called weather days or time extension. You can do it at any time at Projects > [Edit] > Project Overview.

• A. Schedule name: Identifies the specific schedule update.
• B. Data date: The date on which the schedule data was recorded.
• C. Scheduled Compl. Date: The projected completion date pulled from the schedule update.
• D. Days Added: The number of "weather days" or time extension given to contractor in each schedule update. It must be manually added to the schedule at the time of import.
• E. Adjusted Contract Compl. Date: The contract completion date adjusted for any time extension, see Days Added.
• F. "Must Finish By" Date: A scheduling constraint that sets a hard deadline for a project. It's pulled from the schedule update, and is usually manually entered by a person who created or updated the schedule. If no constraint exists for the project, this field remains empty.
• G. Cal Days Ahead / Behind: The number of calendar days the project is ahead or behind the adjusted contract completion date.
• H. Periodic Change: The change in days ahead or behind compared to the previous update.
• I. Total Float: The total float or slack time available in the schedule.

This table aggregates project milestones across successive schedule updates and compares their completion dates to reveal improvements or delays. For every milestone, the table displays its computed completion date along with a time slippage indicator. This indicator is calculated by comparing the current milestone's computed date with that from the previous schedule update.

A positive value like +4 means that the milestone's projected completion has been delayed or slipped by an additional 4 days relative to the previous update (4 days lost). Conversely, a negative value - for example, –8 indicates that the milestone has been moved forward and gained 8 days compared to the last update.

MS Type column indicates whether a milestone represents the beginning or the end of an activity or phase. A Start milestone marks the scheduled commencement, while a Finish milestone signals the planned completion, serving as key indicators for monitoring and managing project progress.
