Add To Baseline
Explanation
Perform this activity when additional scope is added to the project and
needs to be included in the existing project baseline. Executing this
function will create a new baseline revision. Only the activities under the
selected node will receive new baseline values. This process focuses on
managing changes to the project. The project as a whole must already have an
established 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.
- The project should have an existing baseline.
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 indicated by the Activity Changed label.
