How do I change a stage's date in the Schedule?

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. Resize the pill to a new date, by clicking on either end of the pill and moving it to a new date.
2. Click and move the entire row to a new date period.

The Project Schedule is only available on Synergy Enterprise.

Planning mode

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.

Delivery mode

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.
