Baseline

Hi Pauline

You can save the baseline by going to Tools > Tracking > Save Baseline.

MS Project then copies the start, finish, duration, work and cost information for each task. You would do this when the project is ready to start but before any progress has been recorded.

Now when you update your project you can compare your live plan with the baseline by going to the Tracking Gantt chart (View > Tracking Gantt). The coloured bars represent your live project, the grey lines represent the baseline.

I hope this is helpful - do let us know if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,

Andrew
