Michael has attended:
Project Intro Intermediate course
Baseline
What is a baseline? When is it suggested to use the baseline?And when is the best time to save your baseline? Is it important to have a baseline?
Thank you

RE: Baseline
Hi Michael,
Thanks for the question,
A baseline is the original plan that you enter for your project. If is used to track the progress of the project!
On the Tools menu, point to Tracking, and then click Save Baseline.
Save baseline section, (I would start with that, best to save it initially)
Save Baseline When you click Save baseline, you can specify the baseline you want to save. You can save up to 11 different baselines. Baseline information is stored in the Baseline Start, Baseline Finish, Baseline Work, Baseline Duration, and Baseline Cost fields.
The start and finish dates for tasks are updated as you adjust and track your project. By creating a baseline plan, you can compare the most current information (stored in the start and finish fields), with the baseline information (stored in the baseline fields).
To view a baseline plan after you have saved it, display the Tracking Gantt view with the Tracking or Variance table applied.
To view more than one baseline plan, goto view then more views and select the Multiple Baselines Gantt view.
Hope that helps
Tracy
