Tools - Microsoft Project Steps before Baseline
10:23
Posted by jason tratch
MS Project is not an easy tool, but it creates one of the
best Gannt Chart or Schedule display tools you can get.
People ask for a simple guideline that can be followed to
create a Baseline for the Schedule.
Note: I also recommend following this if you are looking to
track real costs, or levels of "Effort" (as PMI would call it) but in
the MS Project software it is called "Work". One must clearly
understand if you are tracking Calendar Time vs Duration vs Work. Each tells a different story and has their
place.
12 Steps Before Baseline and the Sequence to do it in,
includes:
1) Project Start Date (Project - Project info)
2) Calendar (Project – Change working time)
3) Effort Driven Schedule (File - Options – Schedule)
· New tasks
created (Auto)
· Work is
entered in: (Days)
· Default task
type (Fixed Work)
Note: Duration = Work/Units
(Advanced – Display Options)
· Show Project
summary task
4) Task Entry (Deliverables, Work Packages, Tasks)
5) Activity Sequencing, Dependencies/Linking (FS then SS, FF)
6) Resource Sheet (enter initials)
7) Assign Resources to tasks
8) Assign level of effort (Work)
· Milestones
(zero effort)
9) Level resources, alter resources
10) Verifications
11) Set the baseline
12) Track Actuals and Progress (% work complete)
· % Work
Complete Column
· Bar colours
and styles, bar text
· Critical Path
(View – Highlight)
· Red/Dashed
Status Date (Project - Status Date – right click gridlines)
