I am developing a new schedule template which visualizes tasks which start/finish after the deadline, and task which start/finish earlier than planned.
Now I am looking for an appropriate terminology:
- the first would be called a "slipped task", or "task slippage"
- the second? An "advanced task", or "task advance"?
Btw: I find it strange that there seems to be only an established term for the negative situation, but none for the positive situation. The positive situation is also important, as it might provide the opportunity for either creating some contingency in the schedule, or even get a bonus for early delivery.
