What the baseline keeps

Baseline allows to record the current state of the project:

• From when – to when the project is planned
• What is its status
• What stages and activities (tasks) are planned
• What is the status of each activity
• How much work has been done on which activity

What is the baseline used for

The project baseline is primarily used to compare the current state of the project with the past. This makes it easy to see the comparison with the saved status:

• Which tasks have been worked on how much and which are not moving
• Which tasks have been rescheduled
• Which new tasks have been created or cancelled

Where the baseline is being worked on

Baselines are available in the project schedule. This can be accessed from the task list, from the project workspace, or even from the main workbench using the icon next to the project.

How baselines are created

Baselines can be created manually or created automatically.

Automatic creation must be set (you must enable the option, it is an additional service).
