‍

Here’s how to view the Baseline in Microsoft Project so you can compare planned vs actual work: 

‍

1. Click on the 'Project' tab at the top of your screen to access baseline options.
2. In the 'Schedule' group, select 'Set Baseline'. This captures a snapshot of your current plan that you can use for comparison later.
3. From the dropdown menu, click 'Set Baseline...' to open the baseline options dialog box.
4. Choose which baseline number you want to use from the dropdown menu. Microsoft Project allows up to 11 baselines per project!
5. Select the 'Entire project' option to apply the baseline to all tasks in your schedule.
6. Click 'OK' to save your baseline.
7. Navigate to your Gantt Chart view and you'll see gray bars for baseline and blue/red bars for current schedule.
