Project Intro Intermediate course

Baselines

When I go to 'Tools', 'Tracking', I do not have the option to 'Set Baseline'. The only options available to me are to 'save baseline' and 'clear baseline'.

Could you please advise how I can set a baseline.

Many thanks

Mark

RE: Baselines

Hi Mark,

Thank you for your question.

In Project 2003, to create a baseline for your project, you use the Tools, Tracking and Save Baseline command. Then choose Baseline and whether you want to save the baseline for the entire project or just for selected tasks.

However in Project 2007 it changed to Tools, Tracking and Set Baseline.

I hope this answers your question.

Regards

Simon

MS Project tip:

Keep constraining dates to a minimum

As far as possible avoid fixing the dates of your tasks. For example try to steer of clear dragging task bars in the Gantt chart to move them on the timeline or entering dates directly into the Start / Finish fields.

Date constraints such as these limit Microsoft Project's ability to automatically adjust your project whenever you add, remove or modify the duration of your tasks. Instead use the logic in your task dependencies that link your tasks to enable Project to calculate the start and finish dates for you.
