Of course, it’s best not to have late tasks and activities. Any unaddressed delays could risk the successful and timely completion of your project.
However, if you apply the core concepts of the system’s Dynamic Planning Methodology in managing your projects, you will reduce delays to a minimum.
Basic rules to avoid delays:
If an activity is running late, reschedule its Reminder date for tomorrow or whenever you intend to continue work. In this case, make sure to escalate the delay to a superior decision-maker if the delay has the potential to compromise the overall project deadline.
If a task assigned to you is running late, request a deadline change
If a task you own is running late, ask the task assignee for an update
