Baseline
A copy of project information prior to updating a project with progress. When a baseline is created, current schedule values are copied into their relative baseline ones:
-Tasks (start and finish dates, duration, work, cost, splits).
-Resources (work, cost).
-Assignments (start and finish dates, work, cost).
-Timephased work and cost for tasks, resources and assignments.
This provides a clear comparison about the status of the project; if it is meeting its baseline or not. Created with the command: Tools..Tracking..Save Baseline. Interim baselines can also be created to assist in what-if? scenarios.
