How do I View the current plan relative to an interim plan

[Dan Marshall, PMP]

I stored an original baseline for my project.
We had a number of external issues causing delays. I stored a second
baseline called baseline2. I understand this to be an interim plan.

I want to view the current plan relative to the baseline2. But I also want
to keep the original baseline so I can view the current relative to it too.

I found the view called multiple baselines. It appears to show multiple
baselines, but not the current, and I really just want to see one baseline at
a time, relative to current.

Hi,

Try:

View, More Views
Select the Tracking Gantt Chart and click the Copy button
Rename the copy Tracking Gantt 1
Save and Apply
What you see now is an exact copy of the tracking Gantt.

Click Format, Bar styles
Scroll down the list of styles and replace every occurrence of baseline with
baseline1.

Example replace Baseline Start with Baseline1 Start and so on
OK

Now you see Baseline1 against current. View Tracking Gantt to see baseline
against current.


Note Baseline1 is not an interim plan. Interim copies are different and only
have dates.
