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 projects, have the system administrator set up the following permissions and reminders:
- Set permissions so that only project 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
- The owner sets the Target Start and End dates
for each task.
These dates stay fixed throughout the entire project.
- As the project progresses, team members update the Actual/Forecast dates with real data.
