TIP
3. Review the Set Baseline options, and save the entire project as a baseline. If
necessary, click the Set baseline radio button and the Entire project radio
button. Use the default option of the first Set baseline name, Baseline. These
options should be the default settings in Project 2007. Click OK.
There are several options in the Save Baseline dialog box, as shown in Figure A-48.You can save the file
as an interim plan if you anticipate several versions of the plan. You can also select the entire project or
selected tasks when saving a baseline or interim plan. As mentioned above, you can save up to 10 baselines
with Project 2007.
Entering Actual Costs and Times
After you set the baseline plan, you can track information on each of the tasks as the project
progresses. You can also adjust planned task information for tasks still in the future. The
Tracking table displays tracking information, and the Tracking toolbar helps you enter this
information. Figure A-49 describes each button on the Tracking toolbar. The 100% button
and the Update as Scheduled button are the most commonly used buttons for entering
actual information.
