Add To Baseline

Explanation

Perform this task where additional scope is added to the project and when it should be including into the project baseline. Executing this function will create a new baseline revision. Only the activities under the selected node will get new baseline values. This is focused on managing changes to the project. The project as a whole must already have a baseline before it is permitted to add activities to the baseline.

Prerequisites

• The project must be in the status Approved or Started.
• There should be an approved scope change in the project.
• Approved Baseline should be available.

System Effects

Each time you Add to Baseline:

• The current values for planned hours and cost, and the early start and finish dates are copied to the corresponding baseline fields.
• Earned Value and scheduled work will either be calculated based on baseline values or planned values, which is determined by the selected Earned Value Method when setting the baseline.
• The activities that are created and modified after the baseline is set will be marked by the Activity Changed check box being selected.
