> Now I am getting curious. Don't most writers do what I do and create relative dates? After you do the required research and plan/scope/chunk the project, you create a schedule. And the dates in that schedule identify what you need and what you can and cannot control, such as:
>
> ~ First draft on Friday of existing functionality.
> ~ Second draft one week after the software is complete (in testing) which includes full functionality available and all existing review comments.
> ~ Final draft and multiple outputs released with software, which include all changes and review comments to that point or at any specified time based on the writer's schedule.

> So, who uses relative dates? Because until this thread, I kind of assumed everyone did.


Yes, this is what I do. I call it "estimating". ;-)
