RE: Microsoft Project
Hi Cormac
A baseline takes a snapshot of your project plan prior to work commencing. This way you can always compare your current plan with what was orginally agreed (the baseline) and see where you are ahead or behind schedule.
Go to tools > tracking > then save baseline to store the baseline info. A quick way to see it is to switch to the tracking gantt view.
Hope this helps - do let us know if you have any other questions.
Kind regards,
Andrew
