Microsoft Project: An Easy Alternative to Baselining

Sir Ganttalot points out that many people find the baselining feature in Microsoft Project challenging. Interpreting the status of tasks takes a trained eye and requires close attention. In this video Sir Ganttalot shows you an easy alternative to formal baselining that still allows you to see what has changed in a schedule since your last Project Team Meeting.

I can't seem to get the arrows to show and only getting text.

[SirGanttalot]

What version of MS Project are you using?

[jmvelleca]

Thank you very helpful.. you wouldn't know a why to diferentiate two types of work types, (1) normal work and (2) Work but no travel. In my job we need to differentiate ebtween the two especially when resources are scheduled

[SirGanttalot]

Please see my reply to your direct email question...happy to discuss further.....

[NZealand321]

This really helped me. You mentioned in the video that you could set indicators to track trends of interim plans over time. Any plans to show how to do that Sir ?

[SirGanttalot]

Hi......thanks for the feedback. That particular indicator is something we often deploy to our clients, so I can't make it available globally as a video. Send me a separate email by all means and we can maybe address your needs off line.

What a great change from the normal project management presentations! Interesting, charming, and exceptionally informative. Sir Ganttalot knows his stuff!

"In fact, you and the Colonel bear a striking resemblance... Pyah!" You're my hero good sir!

You should use E for Error and R for review.

Hi Sir,

CAN YOU PLEASE CLEARLY DEFINE EARNED VALUE, PLANNED VALUE, BAC, EAC, etc? I`M ALWAYS CONFUSED ABOUT THE  DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ALL OF THEM.

Very interesting article! It seems to me that, after the finish-date change, the graphical indicators remain visible. When a different finish-date is changed in the same project, the initiate indicators will still be visible. How can i handle that? And when, I would like to undo my initiate finish-date change, the indicators still remain visible, how can i handle that?

Regards,

Glen
