To compare the current schedule with the baseline in Primavera P6, follow these steps:
Steps to Compare Current Schedule with Baseline in Primavera P6
- Assign a Baseline
Go to Project → Maintain Baselines
Create a baseline (usually the approved schedule)
Close the window
Go to Project → Assign Baselines
Assign:
Primary Baseline → Approved baseline
(Optional) Secondary/Tertiary baselines as needed
- Display Baseline Data
Open Activities window
Customize columns by clicking Columns
Add baseline-related fields such as:
Baseline Start
Baseline Finish
Baseline Duration
Start Variance
Finish Variance
Duration Variance
- Use Bars to Compare Schedules
Go to View → Bars
Add bars for:
Current Schedule
Primary Baseline
Assign different colors for easy visual comparison
- Analyze Variances
Review variance columns to identify:
Schedule delays or acceleration
Activities finishing later than baseline
Critical path changes
Focus on negative float or negative finish variance
- Use Tracking Layout (Optional)
Apply Tracking Layout
This automatically shows:
Baseline bars
Current bars
Variance columns
- Generate Reports
Use Reports or Layouts
Export schedule comparison data to Excel or PDF for review
Conclusion
Comparing the current schedule with the baseline helps in:
Identifying delays
Measuring progress
Controlling schedule performance
Supporting claims and decision-making

What baselines would you include in a performance measurement baseline?
A performance measurement baseline typically includes the cost baseline, schedule baseline, and scope baseline. The cost baseline details the project's budget, the schedule baseline outlines project milestones and deadlines, and the scope baseline defines the project's deliverables and requirements. These baselines serve as a reference for measuring and comparing actual project performance.

Which baseline typically make up the performance measurement baseline?
Schedule Scope Cost
By representing the budget and schedule associated with each task the Performance Measurement Baseline (PMB) allows program managers to?
compare the value of work performed to actual costs
The Performance measurement baseline consists of which individual baseline?
1. Schedule 2. Cost 3. Scope
What are the steps in developing a performance measurement baseline?
schedule the work
What part of the experiment is the baseline that you compare your result to?
control :)
How can the administrator determine if the additions and changes improved performance and availability on the company intranet?
Perform a baseline test and compare the current values to values that were obtained in previous weeks.
What is schedule baseline?
A schedule baseline is a component of project management that represents the approved version of the project schedule, including planned start and finish dates for project activities. It serves as a reference point for measuring project performance and progress, allowing project managers to assess variances between planned and actual timelines. The schedule baseline is established during the planning phase and is crucial for effective monitoring and control throughout the project's lifecycle. Changes to the baseline typically require formal approval through a change management process.
What characteristic would a project schedule need in order to qualify as a schedule baseline?
start and finish dates for each activity
What is the role of the control group in an experiment?
To establish a baseline to compare your results to.
What elements are included in the Performance Measurement Baseline?
The Performance Measurement Baseline includes the project scope, schedule, and cost baseline. It sets the parameters for measuring and monitoring project performance against planned objectives. It is a key component of project management for tracking progress and ensuring project success.
