Progress lines to compare the progress

RE: Baseline vs. Actuals

Hi James,

Thank you for your question.

Are you using Progress lines to compare the progress?

You should be using the Tracking table in Gantt chart view to enter actual Start and Finish dates. Tyou can compare the actual plan to the baseline.

If so, go to Tools, Tracking and then Progress lines. In the bottom right of the dialogue box, make sure the 'Display progress lines in relation to baseline plan' checkbox is selected and not the actual plan.

I hope this answers your question.

Regards

Simon
