RE: what defines the baseline?

Hi Alex

The baseline is a snapshot of your project created when you go to Tools > Tracking > Baselines and choose "save baseline"

Project stores your duration, start, finish, cost and work values for your tasks so that later on you can compare your baseline snapshot against your current position.

You can view this information by switching to the tracking gantt view.

I hope this is helpful - do let us know if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,

Andrew

MS Project tip:

Set default task type - Project 2010

a. In Project, click on the File tab
b. Select Options from left hand side
c. Click on Schedule to set the scheduling options
d. Set the Default Task type box to your chosen option
i. Generally if you plan/estimate your projects using durations you should use fixed duration, and untick the box New tasks are effort driven, if you plan/estimate with person hours use fixed work, or for plans estimated with the proportion of resources time use fixed units, and untick the box New tasks are effort driven)
e. Click OK to apply your changes
