When variances are identified, we need to review the variances with the project sponsor and either continue to adjust the project schedule to better align to expectations or adjust the key dates and deliverable dates to reflect the project schedule.

To validate key dates and deliverables:

1.  Update key dates

1. Open the Key Dates tab for the project and compare the approved dates to the current Project for the web schedule.
   
   
   Tip: If the approved Key Date is different than project schedule, select the pencil icon (or double click the Key Date card).
   
   
2. Update the Date to reflect the current schedule.
   
   
3. Add any additional details in the Description field to better describe the new key date.
   
   
4. Set the Status as appropriate based on how much the date has changed from the original expectation.
   
   

2.  Update deliverables

1. Open the Deliverables tab for the project and compare the approved dates to the current Project for the web schedule.
   
   
   Tip: If the approved Deliverable date is different than the project schedule, select the Deliverable row.
   
   
2. Click Edit (or double click the Deliverable name).
   
   
3. Update the Due Date to reflect the current schedule.
   
   
4. Add any additional details in the Progress Update field to better describe the status of the deliverable.
