This is an issue with Project Pro 2003. It also occurs in my evaluation copy
of Project 2007 Pro. When project changes occur (they always do), and we get
PMO approval to change our baseline, we are careful not to re-baseline the
entire project and instead we do a selective baseline for the new work. We
opt to have the new work shown in the totals, so we do the selective baseline
process ... rolling it up to all summary tasks. The summary tasks all have
the new revised summary amounts, all the way up to row zero. This works as
expected on the task views and has proven to be a valuable tool.
Here's the problem: When doing a full baseline, Project properly calculates
a total of baseline hours for that resource as shown in a resource view.
This resource level total is also valuable for various resource related
metrics. However, when doing a selective baseline update, the newly
baselined tasks for that person do not get rolled up into a new resource
baseline total. If the new block of work involves many people, I have to
find all of the people and manually recalculate all of the resource baseline
totals.
Is this a bug or a "feature"?
