Updating stage start and end dates on the schedule page

In the Project > Plan > Schedule page, you can adjust the start and/or end dates for any stage that is not marked as completed or unsuccessful in two ways.

1. Drag either end of the row to the desired date.
2. Click and move the entire row to a new date period.

When you adjust the dates for a stage in planning mode, Synergy’s elastic planning means:

• If affected, the project will adjust to reflect the new stage date.
• If affected, the parent phase will adjust to reflect the new stage date.
• All affected child tasks will adjust to reflect the new stage date.

When you adjust the dates for a stage in delivery mode, the elastic feature is disabled. This means:

• The parent project, and phase will adjust to reflect the new stage date.
• Any child tasks will not move.

The above rules also apply when stage dates are changed from the slide-in panel.

If you try to move or extend a project or phase and the stage is marked as completed, nothing happens to the stage. This applies in both delivery and planning mode.

The slide-in panel is also disabled on completed or unsuccessful tasks.
