Tracking actual completion dates

B

What is the best way to track actual completion dates?
You have your "Start" "Finish" dates on the project. But
how can you track the actual completion date? I have a
project date that is for example 4/21. When I put in the
actual finish date it changes the original finish date.
I need to be able to see the original start/finish dates
but also the actual completion date.

Not sure if that makes any sense, but hopefully someone
has some answers for me. The only thing that I thought I
could do was set a baseline and then track it from there.

Thanks!

Hi Brian,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup :)

Exactly, that's what the baseline is for. When you've set it, View the
Tracking Gantt Chart to see differences.

Hope this helps - please let us know how you get on :))
