How Cobra Uses the Early and Late Dates
When you create a class, you specify which date set is used for that class.
Cobra uses the date sets as follows:
- A budget class can use either baseline or pending dates. A forecast can use either forecast, early, or late dates.
- The forecast dates are the default set of dates for the forecast.
- The IPMR CPR Format 1 report has three sets of forecasts in the header (best case, worst case, and most likely).
- Use the early and late dates to calculate the various forecasts if needed.
- Pending dates are used for what if analysis and/or change management.
Use the Dates group box on the General tab of the Project view to modify project dates. You can also modify these dates in the Spreadsheet pane.
