Earned Value and Baselines

[Geoff]

Hi All
I have a series of master schedules rolled up containing
many sub-projects and a resource pool. Works well. Using
2002 Std..
The schedules are all resourced and baselined. Some 700
separate project/activities, all resourced/ quoted and
baselined separately; rolled up by team.
My new boss wants Earned Value (CPI and SPI) for YTD from
1/10/03 to now.
I said no problems, but the problem is I haven't had
costings for the resources included in the original
baselines, only working days effort.
Project requires that the hourly or daily rates be
populated before baselining for it to be reflected in EV..
By including pay rates in Resource Sheet I can handle from
now forwards but I am wondering how I can get the history.
I can obviously re-baseline but that would clobber the
original baselined data. From which SLAs and performance
bonuses are based. Even using baseline 1.2. etc wouldn't
be any good, as I believe BCWS and BCWP don't target those
fields.
I might have to resort to xporting to Excel and using
customised fields.
Would appreciate your input/sugestions.

Kind Regards........Geoff

Hi Geoff,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup

You could make a copy of the project and on that reset the conditions
pertaining at the time of the original baseline, then baseline to get the
costs and then copy/paste the newly acquired baseline costs into the working
project.

Hope this helps - please let us know how you get on )
