Slip

The Slip process lets you move an entire project or selected control accounts within a project to new dates.

Cobra adjusts all dates — baseline, forecast, early, and late — for each control account or work package according to the amount of slippage. Cobra also respreads the time-phased data to ensure it remains within the new dates.

The Slip process is helpful when you are pricing a contract before you create a schedule. You can enter either a negative number of days to slip or a date earlier than the start date, provided that you do not cause the new start date to fall before the status date. When the data has been slipped, Cobra automatically calculates the forecast values and respreads affected data.

You can only slip planned control accounts. When slipping the whole project, Cobra ignores all in-progress and completed control accounts.

Use the Slip Wizard to slip a project or control account.
