How I tract our Progress against baseline 1 in MS project

[nhkazmi]

I saved a baseline in my project and after a month few critical chages
incorporated and save a new base line (baseline 1), now I would like to track
actuals progress with latest base line instead of original baseline

To track you project with Baseline 1 follow these steps
1. Make sure you are in the tracking gantt view
2. Double click on the white area in the Gantt Chart or from the format menu
select Bar styles
3. There will be one bar for baseline. Replace baseline start with baseline1
start. Do the same for baseline finish as well.
4. Now in your tracking gantt view you can compare actual verses baseline 1
Let me know if it works

Hi nhkazmi,

Manmeet has nicely given you a method to display the Baseline1 data
graphically in a Gantt chart. However, all variance data (Work
Variance, Start and Finish Variance, Duration Variance, etc) will still
calculate from Baseline and Actual data.

An option to get both the graphic and the variance data to calculate off
the new baseline (Baseline1 in your example) is to use the "Interim
plan" option and copy the Baseline1 to Baseline. If you wish to keep
the original baseline for reference, use Tools > Tracking > Save
Baseline and select the Save interim plan option. Copy Baseline into an
unused Baseline field (Baseline 2 for example). Then go back to Tools >
Tracking > Save Baseline, Save interim plan and copy Baseline1 into
Baseline.

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

Julie
