Project slippage

Project slippage

In project planning, a "slippage" is the act of missing a deadline. It can be an arbitrary milestone put in place to help track progress.

To avoid slippage, one must plan his or her projects (especially research) carefully to avoid delays in schedule. Using Gantt charts and timeline diagrams can help.
