How Cobra Uses the Early and Late Dates

When you create a forecast class, you specify which date set is used for that class.

Cobra uses the date sets as follows:

The forecast dates are the default set of dates for the forecast.

Use the early and late dates to calculate the various forecasts, if needed.
A budget class can use either baseline or pending dates. A forecast can use forecast, early, or late dates.
The IPMR CPR Format 1 report has three sets of forecasts in the header: best case, worst case, and most likely.
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.
