Baselining Your Project in Primavera P6
Welcome back to PMTutor e-learning course! You have made it to the 12th Lesson –
Baselining Your Project in P6. In this lesson, you will learn about Baselines and how to use
them to evaluate your project’s progress. You will learn to create a baseline and assign it to
your project and you will also learn about configuring the Gantt chart to display your
baseline graphically.
A Baseline is like a snapshot of your project plan, frozen at a point in time. This “snapshot”
provides a target against which you can track your project’s cost, schedule, and recourse
performance. We use baselines to help us evaluate whether our project is following the
plan we set out to follow. Your project plan will change as you execute the work it
describes, some activities will start later than expected, some will finish early, some will be
changed completely. But the baseline will not change – it preserves for you the original
plan. You can then compare your evolved plan with the original plan (your baseline) to
evaluate your project’s performance.
Ok. Now that we understand the concept of a Baseline, let’s create a baseline for our MFE
project shown here. As we move through the steps, you will see that Primavera offers you
many options for working with baseline, let’s start by taking a snapshot of the MFE project
as you see it here. Click on the Project menu.
