Act while there is still slack
A slip caught the day the projection moves leaves you room to resequence or chase a predecessor, instead of finding out once the float is already gone.
SLIP AND OVERDUE ALERTS
Project risk alerts that reach you before the site call
Project risk alerts run a daily check across every live project and tell you the moment a task goes overdue or a project is projected to finish past its baseline. You find out from the system while you can still act, not from a trade standing on site asking why nobody warned them.

What it does
What slip and overdue alerts do
Most schedules go quiet right up to the point they fail. The slip was visible in the numbers for two weeks, but nobody was looking at the Gantt that day. Phaselo closes that gap with two scheduled checks: one for tasks that have passed their due date and one for live projects whose projected finish has drifted past the baseline you locked at go-live. The system watches every project for you and surfaces the problem to the person who can do something about it, with a link straight to the work.
How it works
How the daily check actually works
- 1
A daily sweep of live work
Once a day a scheduled job walks every active project in the workspace. It is a real cron-triggered pass, not a thing that fires only when you open the app, so projects nobody touched today still get checked.
- 2
Overdue tasks ping the assignee
For each task that is assigned, past its due date, and not yet marked Done in an active project, the assignee gets an alert. It fires once per task: the notification record itself is the sent marker, so you are not buried under the same reminder every morning.
- 3
Slip is measured against the locked baseline
For every live project the same critical-path engine that draws the Gantt runs a forward and backward pass over the dependency network and returns the projected finish date. That date is compared to the baseline finish snapshotted at go-live. Slip is projected finish minus baseline, in days.
- 4
Real slip alerts the people accountable
If a project is projected to land a few days or more past baseline, the workspace admins and the team owners get the alert, since they own the schedule. Small day-to-day churn is filtered out, and a project that keeps slipping re-alerts on a sensible interval instead of every single day.
- 5
Delivered where you will see it
Overdue alerts arrive in-app on the notifications bell and link straight to the task. Slip alerts arrive both in-app and by email, unless you have muted email, and link to the project Gantt, so you go from notice to the critical path in one click.
Why it matters
Why early warning changes the outcome
The right person is told
Overdue work goes to the assignee and schedule slip goes to admins and owners, so the alert lands with someone who can actually move the date.
It is honest about what it is
These are scheduled daily checks and threshold alerts against your own baseline and critical path, not an AI guessing the future, so you can trust why each one fired.

FAQ
Questions about slip and overdue alerts
How do project risk alerts know a project is going to slip?
There is no prediction involved. For every live project the critical-path engine runs a forward and backward pass over your dependency network and returns the projected finish date, then subtracts the baseline finish you locked at go-live. If the projected date is past baseline by enough days, that is a real slip and it alerts. It is the same math behind the slip badges on your Gantt, run on a schedule.
Who receives the slip and overdue alerts?
They go to different people on purpose. An overdue task alerts the person it is assigned to. A project projected past its baseline alerts the workspace admins and the team owners, since they are accountable for the schedule. That way the notice reaches someone who can actually act on it rather than a shared inbox everyone ignores.
Are these alerts AI predictions?
No. To be honest about it, these are scheduled daily checks and threshold alerts, not AI. A daily job evaluates each live project against your locked baseline and flags overdue tasks against their due dates. Nothing is inferred or guessed, so you can always see exactly why an alert fired and trust the number behind it.
Will I get spammed with the same alert every day?
No. An overdue task alerts once: the notification record is the sent marker, so it will not repeat each morning. A project that is still slipping re-alerts only on a sensible interval rather than daily, and very small drifts that are normal churn are filtered out so only meaningful slip reaches the owners.
How are the alerts delivered and can I turn off the emails?
Overdue task alerts are posted in-app on the notifications bell and link to the task. Project slip alerts are posted in-app and also emailed, with a link to the project Gantt, so you can go from notice to the critical path in one click. If you would rather not get the slip emails, you can mute notification emails on your account and still see everything in-app.
