The Baseline in MS Project

Asked by Gsteingr in Microsoft Project Project Management Software

Tags: , ,

Hi,

It's my understanding that after you're finished assigning estimated Work hours on your tasks, you can make a Baseline before people actually start working on your project.

Then later, when you want to see if you under/over estimated your Work hours, you can compare your current status of the project VS. the old baseline that you saved.

What happens if you plan your project prefectly, save your baseline, and start the work. Then 2 weeks later, out of the blue, some new tasks (demands) must be created.

If you use your old baseline, then you can't see the original estimated work hours on your recently created tasks.
If you save a new baseline, then ALL the originally estimated work hours for the "old" tasks will be lost.

Plus you can only save around 10 baselines. Is it really a useful option?

Thank you, I really appreciate it!!Start Free Trial
