Create Baseline the Baseline or Target Schedule provides a point of reference on which to measure and control the underway project. Create a Baseline copy of the schedule before the first update. This will be the target against which the project’s cost, schedule, and performance are tracked. Assign each baseline a category to define its purpose (i.e. initial planning baseline, what-if project plan baseline, mid-project status baseline, monthly update comparison baseline). Categories are created under the Admin menu, Admin Categories, Baseline Types.

Update the schedule regularly and compare it to the baseline to ensure that resources are

being used effectively, project costs are being monitored against the original budget, that

there is a knowledge of actual durations and costs in order to initiate contingency plans if

necessary.

Ask the following questions when updating:

· What information needs to be collected to update the project and what method(s) will

be used to collect information?

· Who will gather the necessary information used for the project update?

· How often should the project be updated?

· Are resources local or offsite?

· Who will need to see the results of the update and when are these results needed?

· What types of information will be generated after each update in order to

communicate progress before the next update period?
