Multiple Baselines

ResolvedVersion 2016

Stephen has attended:
Project Intermediate course

Multiple Baselines

I have been asked to review a programme and setup up monthly Baselines from May 2016 - Mar 2017 showing the progress( or not) of each task (2000 in total)on a monthly basis to highlight the lack of performance of the contractor.

I have all the programems but a separate one for each month

How do I do this?

I need to complete this by 28/03/17

I have tried setting up the baselines, but it has not been successful.

RE: Multiple Baselines

Hello Stephen,

Thank you for your question regarding Ms Project Baselines.

All our Ms Project trainers are delivering training today, but will be able to respond on Monday.

Kind regards,

Richard

RE: Multiple Baselines

Hi Stephen,

I think what I understand from your request is that you need a way of seeing the changes Month by Month between the two dates.

Baselines
Multiple baselines should have been taken as each file was saved so that the Mar 2017 version had all of the baselines. Rather than going back to baseline all files individually and trying to compare that I think you might need to use Project Comparison

Project Comparison
Open up one of the Programme files
On the Report Tab, click on Project Comparison
Browse and Select another Programme file (different month)
Click OK and let it generate a report
This should show you the difference between the two files.
If you did this with the May 2016 file and compared it with each Month, it should give you the incremental changes between the two files.
The May 2016 and March 2017 comparison should give you the total slippage/delay by the contractor.

Please can you try comparing the files and let us know

Kind regards
