reporting against baselined plans

[Patc]

Hello

I report earned value by project on a "consolidated plan" . I have the
following questions:
1. Is it possible to include columns that will indicate
a) the new start and finish dates based on actual start dates updated
against the base lined plan

2) does the earned value reflect the value based on the updated start date?

There are 3 basic "start' dates (and finish) in PSM. There is baseline start,
start and actual start. Baseline start never changes, start could also be
called projected start because in will change to to logic ties and changes in
the schedule. Actual start needs no explanation. You can add columns for
Start or Finish variance. This is based on the delta between your actual
start aand baseline start. Same for finish.
Earned value, more commomly called earned man-hours is called "Work" in MSP.
Who knows why!!! The way you get earned value is to update "% Complete" in
MSP. Before yoy start this you need to set all the task "type" to fixed work.
By doing this MSP will not add man-hours. If you used fixed duration or fixed
units MSP does strange things.
Good Luck!!
