How do I rebaseline one subtask, what happens to actuals - MS Pro.

[Romac]

I have a resource driven schedule in MS Project Professional 2003, how do I
rebaseline one subtask, what happens to actuals when I do? What changes can I
expect?

Hi,

I recommend keeping a copy of your original baseline in Baseline1 then
resaving the normal Baseline whenever you want - weekly for tight timeframe
projects. This has no effect on actuals what so ever. The only change is all
current data is copied to the nominated baseline. Remember that Project 2003
has 11 baselines you can save to.

Why would you re-baseline only one task? I think of the baseline as
describing the project you intend to do. If a task changes after the fact -
lets say it takes longer than originally planned for or you've added some
resources and it's now taking less time - that is a variance against the
against the orginal baseline, not an occaision for a new baseline. You'd
need to do a new baseline only if the task was an addition to the original
plan or left out due to oversight or something like that, IMHO.
