Adding or removing activities after basline
I have a very basic question. When you make your first schedule enter your costs and resources etc you save the baseline and then later you can compare with actuals which I understand. But what if after saving your baseline, you delete or insert activities? Or change the relations between activities? How do you compare your new schedule to baseline and how can you perform earned value analysis in that case, (if you can do it at all)?

Usually when adding new tasks, the discussion becomes whether to re-baseline or not. You can save multiple baselines and then select which baseline to use to EV calculations.

Ok so in other words, you are saying that when we add or delete activities or change relations, the previous baseline inherently will not be apples to apples with the new actual sitation if we tried to use the same baseline, so you are saying we should make a new baseline in that case? I am just trying to understand if technically this is absolutely necessary or it is just a matter of preference. Which is technically the correct way I mean….

Baselines data is saved when you save the baseline. If you add tasks after baselining -- there will be no baseline data for the added tasks. If you delete tasks after baselining - the baseline data for that task is deleted, however the summary task baseline does not change.
Again, re-baselining is usually negotiated between the Project Manager and Sponor(s). If you are adding new tasks are they enough to warrant a change order and rebaseline? If you are deleting tasks are you changing project scope and requirements? |
