Track the delay in plan with help of Baseline feature.

[HB_10697124]

Hello @HelesicPetr  -- Apologies for chiming in between as I am too struggling to understand how baseline exactly work. Here is the scenario. 

Question 1 : Does the baseline works for only Automatic scheduling or it works for Manual too?

Question 2 : Assuming a plan having 4 activities, and project has started by creating a baseline, eventually 2 activities complete on-time and 3 activity got delayed by day. Do I need to create a new baseline now again? 

Question 3 : Now, as activity 3 got delayed, it has impact on activity 4 eventually, how can I track the delay here?

Hi @HB_10697124 

1. the baseline should work for both. Manual, Automatic execution.

2. Depends what time you want to compare. If it is delayed to start of the project then the first baseline is enough

If you create another baseline it is compered to the time when the baseline has been created.

3. this is complicated. If the pervious task is not updated that the scheduled time is not updated properly so the following tasks are not updated properly.
