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.
