What is the Baseline?
The baseline is the original plan of
when the tasks are going to take place as agreed by the stakeholders.
It holds data on when the tasks are
going to take place, how long they are going to take, how much work is involved
and at what cost.
The baseline can be displayed against
the current plan, either by showing all the tasks in the same way or also by
showing which tasks are currently critical.
The advantages
of using a Baseline
By having this information, when the
project actually starts (or changes are considered), comparisons can be made
between what is happening now and what was originally agreed.
Once the project is finished, the
project plan can be analysed. This will then help improve future plans, as it
will be possible to see which areas of the plan worked as scheduled and which
areas didn’t. Hopefully reasons can be given as to which areas didn’t work as
they should.
