Question on Baseline and rebaseline

[Merry]

Hi,
I don't know from PWA if there is any way can show how many times a project
is re-baselined.

Thanks
Merry

I do not believe there is any way to track the number of rebaseline
procedures, either in Project Professional 2007 or in PWA. One approach I
recommend is that the PM add a Note to the Project Summary Task (Row 0 or
Task 0) each time he/she rebaselines a project, entering the date of the
procedure and the reason for doing so. Just a thought. Hope this helps.

Dale,
In fact in MS project, I can add baseline 1, baseline 2,.... and from there
I can see if the project has been re-baselined. But in that way, I have to
check one by one.
I just wonder, how can our audit team check if a project is rebaselined
several times.

Thanks
Merry

Hi Merry, I suspect Dale has already answered your question. There isn't a
way.

Hello everybody,

I'm not sure I understand well Merry's question, but if the aim is to count
the number of used baselines out of the eleven available baselines, without
counting if a specific baseline has been overwritten several times, it would
be possible to use a formula like this one:

Number of Used Baselines: (In Number1 for ex.)
IIf([Baseline Duration]=0;0;1)+IIf([Baseline1
Duration]=0;0;1)+IIf([Baseline2 Duration]=0;0;1)+IIf([Baseline3
Duration]=0;0;1)
..and so on for the 11 available baselines.

Thanks Ducouret.

In our organization, the project owner is not allowed to do re-baseline
without approval. So I want to know if the project owner does re-baseline,
how can the EPM admin knows that?

Thanks,
Merry
