Using a baseline schedule

System administrators set up permissions and reminders for baseline schedules. Schedule owners set the dates for each task in the baseline schedule. Team members update the progress for their tasks in the baseline schedule.

Before you begin

Before you create your projectsLists, On-demand Campaigns, or Corporate Campaigns, have the system administrator set up the following permissions and reminders:

  • Set permissions so that only projectList, On-demand Campaign, or Corporate Campaign owners can update Target dates.
  • Set reminders (alerts) that are based on the Actual/ForecastActual dates.

About this task

While you work with a baseline schedule, team members perform the following high-level steps.

Procedure

  1. The owner sets the Target Start and End dates for each task.

    These dates stay fixed throughout the entire projectList, On-demand Campaign, or Corporate Campaign.

  2. As the projectList, On-demand Campaign, or Corporate Campaign progresses, team members update the Actual/ForecastActual dates with real data.
