From: Mahesh Nivarthi Mahesh on 1 Apr 2010 08:48 How many multiple baselines can be viewed simultaneously? I have baselined for 8 times. Is all possible 11 baselines can be viewed together to analyse project progress
From: Dale Howard [MVP] on 1 Apr 2010 12:19 Mahesh -- In theory, you could show all 11 Baselines in the Multiple Baselines Gantt. To do this, apply the Multiple Baselines Gantt view and then double-click anywhere in the white part of the Gantt Chart portion of the view. In the Bar Styles dialog, notice that there are FOUR line items that define each Baseline shown in the view. The first item shows the schedule for the Baseline, the second item shows task splits in the Baseline schedule, the third item shows the Baseline schedule for a Milestone task, and the last item shows the Baseline schedule for a summary task. Study VERY CAREFULLY how this view is defined, as you will need to set up additional line items based on what you already see in this dialog. To add the other Baselines, one at a time, you will need to add four definition line items for each Baseline. For Baseline 3, 4, and 5, you will need to choose a unique color and show these items on the 2nd row (notice the number in the Row column). For Baseline 6, 7, and 8, you will need to choose another unique color and show these items on the 3rd row. For Baseline 9 and 10, you will need choose still another unique color and show these items on the 4th row. I have done this only for Baseline 3 and Baseline 4, and I was able to get the information to show successfully. However, the mystery to me is how you could possibly read and interpret this much information in the Multiple Baseline Gantt view. I cannot even begin to understand what I see in the this view with only THREE Baselines showing, and with FIVE Baselines showing, my head begins to explode! :) Hope this helps. -- Dale A.
