You can view and compare baselines with the actual project data
to understand how your project is progressing against the original or interim
baseline plans. Activities with variance, if any, between the baseline and
actual values, are indicated in the comparison.
Ensure
the Baseline viewlet is available in your view:
If you are using the default dashboard, click the Baseline tab.
The Baseline viewlet is available in this view.
If you are using a customized dashboard, switch to or add the Baseline viewlet
to your view. Select a tab, click Add viewlet, and
add the Baseline viewlet.
To perform this task, you must have the required
security permission. For more information about security permissions, see User security settings.
To
compare your project baseline with the current plan, you must have created
atleast one baseline for the project. For more information on creating a baseline,
see Creating a baseline
To compare baselines with actual values:
In the WBS tree, click the project to view the baseline data for.
In the Baseline viewlet, from the Baseline list,
select a baseline. The baseline values and the actual values
for start date, end date, and duration are displayed in the respective columns.
Items with variance are displayed in bold red text.
Optional: If you have saved multiple baselines
for the project, you can select another baseline to compare. To change the
baseline, from the Baseline list, select a different
baseline.
