How do I baseline

RE: Project. Antony

Hello Robert,

Hope you enjoyed your Microsoft Project courses with Best STL.

Thank you for your question regarding how to baseline in MS Project.

Switch to the Tracking Gantt view and go to the Project ribbon. In the Schedule group click the Set Baseline button. Initially, when you first set the baseline, merely accept the default settings in the dialog box and click OK.

The Tracking Gantt will now display a second bar below the current bar which represents the original plan. the tracking table will now show the baseline start and finish columns.

Give this a try!


I hope this resolves your question. If it has, please mark this question as resolved.

If you require further assistance, please reply to this post. Or perhaps you have another Microsoft Office question?

Have a great day.
Regards,

Rodney
Microsoft Office Specialist Trainer

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.
