Learn how large organizations manage schedule slippage through structured slippage control. This enterprise-focused guide explains causes of slippage, prevention mechanisms, governance roles, and industry-specific practices that help enterprises detect delay early, take corrective action, and protect delivery commitments and business value.

Conflict in the schedule is inevitable in large organizations. What differentiates high-performing enterprises is not the absence of conflict, but the ability to identify it early, escalate it appropriately, and resolve it in alignment with strategy and value. Treating schedule conflict as a governance issue rather than a planning inconvenience enables faster, clearer, and more defensible decisions.
