RE: what is a baseline

Hi Steve

Thanks for your question. The baseline captures values for your tasks (Start, Finish, Duration, Work and Cost) so that you can compare your live project position for each of those values with those agreed at the project start.

The baseline can be saved by going to Tools > Tracking > Save baseline and quickly viewed by going to the Tracking Gantt view.

I hope this helps - let us know if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,
Andrew

MS Project tip:

Autofit column width – Project (all versions)

At the top of the columns where each column name is located (Task Name, Duration, etc.), hover over the vertical column line which you want to move.

A short bold vertical line will appear, with horizontal arrows pointing left and right.

Left click and hold this icon and it will permit you to grab the column line, allowing you to move it left or right to your desired location.
