BASELINE USE from Yazeer of Borneo



Yeargh!!!! May I add, Doc to spice da blog wee bit?

No ONE RIGHT answer for this

My short 2 pesos view:
Users of program, its your choice of how to manage your project :)
i.e how you plan, track progress, manage changes, note stuffs, how to impress the client & the aweks/jantans etc
Use what's working and what's you're comfortable with.

On the program use, baselining may be useful if:
1- Your tracking is update resource usages; or update Actual Start/Finish/Duration/Remaining Duration (instead of update %) = Doing those updates may affect the START/FINISH parameters. so your gantt chart will look nuts = Client (non-Doc Syed's stud-ent) confused, unhappy, your boss unhappy etc

2- For less-confusing graphical presentation purposes (you need to adjust the layout of your Gantt Chart to show only BASELINE BAR)

As long as you don't confuse your client, should be fine!

Confused w my typings? Just stick to what Doc preached!

Good One Yazeer!

Actually to use baselines, simply adopt the following standards

Start now becomes Baseline Start
Finish now becomes Baseline Finish

Everything else remains quite easily confusing but fun!

Cheers Ol Boy!
