Critical path

Can I view the critical path as original baseline and at current progress?

RE: Critical path

Hi Jim

Thank you for your question. The built in views in Project include the Tracking Gantt view (View > Tracking Gantt) and this view shows current baseline with the live plan (which incorporates the critical path) overlayed above it.

MS Project calculates the critical path on the live project information rather than the baseline values. To keep a historical copy of the critical path along with the baseline you may want to save an archive copy of the plan that can be referred to once the main plan is updated.

I hope this helps - do let us know if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,
Andrew

Ms project tip:

Formatting Bar Text

To display notes or resource initials on the Gantt chart bars, choose Format, Bar Styles and the Text tab. Select the position you want to show the text i.e. Top or Inside etc, then choose the field name you are looking for from the drop down arrow. Type the first letter of the name to get quickly to the top of the letter range. Click OK.
