Analyze History Logging Data
Explanation
The history logging data consists of snapshots of activity and object connection information for all activities,
including important parameters which describe the progress of your project. You can analyze the history logging
data to assure that the progress performance is in accordance with your project plans, or at early stage discover
any variances from the plan. History data is created either through history logging or when a baseline is created.
History logging data is presented in several different perspectives:
- In Project Monitoring/ History tab, an overview of all the history records for the project are listed.
Information about how and when the record was created is shown.
- In Project History page, the complete history data for the project for a given history date is
presented.
- In Activity History under the History command group in Project
Scope and Schedule page, the activity history is shown for given history dates.
- In Project Monitoring/History Graph tab, you can view a graph which shows the parameters Committed,
Scheduled Work, Earned Value, Used and Actual. These parameters are shown for the whole project, subproject or
activity, depending on what is selected in the tree navigator. In the event that more than one baseline is set on
the same date, this date point in the graph will be based only on the earliest "Pre-Baseline" data and
the latest "Baseline" data.
Prerequisites
At least one history logging must have been performed. This history record can be taken either when doing a
manual history logging, a scheduled history logging, or when setting a baseline revision.
System Effects
