This project plan has been reviewed by the team and is considered to be final. Soon you and
your team will begin carrying out the plan. Your objective is to capture and store baseline
information for use later when you enter actual work.
4. Follow the steps below to create an initial baseline for this project:
Let Me Try!
A. Select Set baseline, and verify that the text box contains the word Baseline.
All of the start and finish dates, durations, assignments, and work in the project at this point in
time are now stored.
Next take a look at the Task Sheet and Variance table combination useful for tracking any
differences between planned and actual values in the project.
This view contains your task list, dates, and assignment information without the Gantt bars to
the right. Next, youll place the variance on top of this view.
7. Choose ViewDataTables .
A list of available tables is displayed, with the current Entry table overlay checked.
10. Display project statistics by choosing the command Project >Properties >Project
Information .
Notice the new information displayed in this dialog box. The Baseline row is now populated. The
information in the Baseline row is identical to the information in the Current row. This is
because no actual values have been recorded.
At this point, project planning is complete and you have established a baseline against which to
compare actual values.
