Software Orientation
On the Variance Table, you can also see the variance between the baseline start and the planned or actual start of a task. In other words, this table shows you if the project is ahead of schedule or behind schedule, on a task-by-task basis.

Establishing a Project Baseline
In order to evaluate how well a project is progressing, it is important to review how well it was originally planned.
The schedule baseline is the project schedule that has been approved by the project sponsor.
The baseline is saved and then referred to later to track project progress.
In project management, by definition, a baseline is the approved version of the scope, schedule and budget of a project.
In Microsoft Project, a baseline is a “snap-shot” of these key values, such as the planned start and finish dates (schedule), planned costs (budget) and the tasks (scope), at a given point in time.

Step by Step: Establish a Project Baseline
GET READY. Before you begin these steps, launch Microsoft Project.
1. OPEN the Don Funk Music Video 9M project schedule from the data files for this lesson.
2. SAVE the file as Don Funk Music Video 9 in the solutions folder for this lesson as directed by your instructor.
3. Click the Project tab. In the Schedule group, click the Set Baseline button and then select Set Baseline.
4. The Set Baseline dialog box appears. You will accept all of the default settings in this dialog box by clicking OK. Microsoft Project saves the baseline, although there is no indication in the Gantt Chart view that anything has changed. In the next few steps, you will explore some of the changes caused by saving the baseline.

Cross Ref: You will go deeper into the Set Baseline dialog box in Lesson 11.
Take Note: You can save up to eleven baselines in a single project schedule. The baselines are named Baseline (the first baseline you would normally save) and Baseline 1 through Baseline 10. Saving multiple baselines is helpful if your project duration is especially long or if you have approved scope/schedule changes. You can save multiple baselines to record different sets of baseline values and later compare these against each other and against actual values.

Step by Step: Establish a Project Baseline
5. On the ribbon, click the View tab and then click the down-arrow under Gantt Chart. Select More Views, and the More Views dialog box appears.
6. In the More Views box, select Task Sheet and click Apply. Using this view, there is more room to see the fields in the table because the Gantt Chart is not shown. Now you will switch to a different table in the Task Sheet view.
7. On the ribbon, click Tables, and then click Variance. The Variance table appears. This table includes both the Scheduled and Baseline columns so that you can compare them easily. Your screen should look similar to the figure on the next slide.

Step by Step: Establish a Project Baseline
Note that at this point, the values in the Start and Baseline Start, as well as the values in the Finish and Baseline Finish, are identical. This is because no actual work has occurred and no changes to the scheduled work have been made. Once actual work has been recorded or schedule adjustments have been made, the scheduled values may differ from the baseline values. Any differences would be displayed in the Variance column.
