Data Date

The specific as-of date used to capture and report the projects current status.

Key Points

  • Also known as the status date or as-of date.
  • Actual progress is recorded up to this date; work after it remains planned or forecast.
  • Critical for schedule updates and earned value calculations (PV, EV, AC) as of that date.
  • Should be set consistently across all reports for a given reporting period.

Example

The team performs a monthly update and sets the data date to September 30. They enter actual starts, finishes, and percent complete up to September 30. Remaining durations and future work beyond September 30 are left as forecasts.

PMP Example Question

During a schedule update, the project manager wants all progress and variances to reflect conditions as of a single, agreed-upon date. What is this date called?

  1. Baseline date
  2. Data Date
  3. Planned finish
  4. Milestone date

Correct Answer: B — Data Date

Explanation: The data date (status date) is the as-of point in time when the projects status is recorded and analyzed.
