Join John Riopel for an in-depth discussion in this video Resetting a baseline, part of Managing Time-Constrained Projects with Microsoft Project.
- We've done a lot to reduce our timeline…on our current project: we fast-tracked,…we crashed, we've substituted resources,…and we've done other things along the…way, including reducing scope.…We want to revisit our snapshot of…our original baseline and see what…the impact of those changes are.…We're going to go to the View ribbon,…and on the View ribbon, we'll reselect…under the Task selections, our Tracking Gantt.…Now, on the Tracking Gantt we can actually see…the differences between our current…schedule and our original snapshot,…the grey bars, which was our baseline.…
